In 1815 George Denison bought a park lot that
included the land between what is now Major Street
and Lippincott Street, and running north to Bloor
Street. His residence called "Belle Vue"
was located approximately where the Kiever Synagogue
now stands, and across from what is now known
as Denison Square. The Denisons were prosperous,
conservative gentry, and along with their strong
connections to the business community were actively
involved in public, church and military service.
Kensingtons street names have links to
the Denisons, including Lippincott, Augusta, Denison
and Belle Vue, and reflect the British influence
with College, Oxford, Kensington, St. Andrew and
Wales.
