Horner Avenue
Horner Avenue is named for one of Alderwood's pioneer families. The Horner homestead was built by Archibald Cameron in 1850, using red and white bricks made right on the property. The house and 120 ha farm were purchased in 1874 by Daniel Horner, and later inherited by his son Franklin. Daniel and Franklin were both active in the community and prominent in municipal affairs. Daniel was elected to Etobicoke Council in 1881-1884 and again in 1886, and Franklin served as a school trustee for twenty years. Franklin Horner School is one of the few schools to be named after a local resident during his lifetime.
