Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home In the allocation of property following the historic decision in June 1925, "60 Grosvenor" was given to The United Church of Canada. The Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home was reborn out of the faith of such friends as Mrs. Daniel Strachan, Mrs. D.T.L. McKerroll, Miss Elizabeth Burns, and Mr. R.J. Lillico who was Chairman of the Deaconess Board. The first location was in a rented house on Huron Street, with Mrs. Lord in charge and Miss Irene Stringer enrolled as the first student. Another temporary move was made to a rented, furnished house at 104 Bedford Road. In September 1927, the General Assembly having been petitioned for permanent quarters for the Training Home, approved the purchase of the property at 156 St. George Street. The following month, fourteen students were in residence with Miss Winnifred Ferguson as principal. Source: http://www.presbycan.ca/odm/history.html
