152 ST. GEORGE
152 St. George Street in Toronto is a 2.5-storey house located on the west side of St. George Street, between Bloor Street West and Sussex Avenue, within the University of Toronto's St. George Campus. Constructed in 1897-1898, the building showcases the Annex style of architecture, incorporating elements of Queen Anne Revival, Romanesque Revival, and Bay and Gable designs.
The first occupants were W. Murray Alexander (1866-1955) and his family, who resided there from its completion until around 1901-1902. Alexander was a Scottish-Canadian stockbroker and later became involved with the Vacuum Gas & Oil Company, serving as its Managing Director in the early 1920s.
From 1902-1903 to 1932-1933, the house was home to Colin F. Gordon, Secretary-Treasurer of John Kay, Son, & Company, and his wife Janet. Following Gordon's death in 1927, Janet continued to live there until the early 1930s.
Between 1933-1934 and 1940-1941, Marie Judge, widow of James S. Judge, resided at the property.
Since 1941-1942, 152 St. George Street has served as the residence for the Epsilon-Epsilon Zeta chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, the first Canadian chapter of l:ambda Chi Alpha.
