William Chapman and Hugh J. McDonnell rent for one year
The 1873 City of Toronto Directory lists William Chapman, head commissioner of the Canada Trust and Loan Company, and Hugh J McDonnell, barrister as living in 38 Duke Street. It is unclear who owned the property at this point, and why T. Sutherland Stayner was absent during 1873.
