  • ... that the Ashbridge Estate (pictured) is the only property in the history of Toronto to be occupied by the same family for more than 200 years? Source: [1]: "The Jesse Ashbridge House so named for the Ashbridge family, the only family in Toronto to have lived continuously for two centuries on land they settled." Also historical plaque: "This property was home to one family for two centuries."

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article was promoted to GA status on 21 Feb. Long enough, within policy. Hook is short enough, interesting, and covered by the Historic Places ref (which loads for me). QPQ is done. Picture looks good. Overall, good to go! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Symbol question.svg Template:Ping I was going to promote this when I realised that the hook mentions "only" and refers to the time when the property became a Historic Place in 1972; this fact is not necessarily still true. Could you propose a hook variant to reflect this? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
