Between 1834 and 1890 this site was the home of Lucie and Thornton Blackburn, refugee former slaves from Kentucky who started Toronto’s first taxicab company. Twin plaques have been erected at this site〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toronto's Historical Plaques --Thornton and Lucie Blackburn 1 Historical Plaque )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toronto's Historical Plaques --Thornton and Lucie Blackburn 2 Historical Plaque )〕 and one in Louisville, KY.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kentucky Fugitives to Canada - Kentucky Historical Markers on Waymarking.com )〕 Inglenook is located in the oldest continually-operated school building in the Toronto District School Board.
