History
David Duncan House is named for owner of the lands (Lots 10 and 11 east of Leslie Street) for which much of Graydon Hall now resides. His home was on the farm called Moatfield (built in 1865), which was given to him by his father and Irish-born William Duncan III (who was also settler of Dublin Village along Sheppard Avenue from Dufferin Street to Keele Street on Lots 16 and 17).[1][2]
Duncan Mills Road and former Canadian Northern Railway Duncan Station (located in Don Mills, later as Oriole and now demolished) are named for William Duncan's son Henry Duncan.[3][4] David Duncan's Moatfield was relocated to current site in 1986.
Graydon Hall is named after Henry Rupert Bain's Graydon Manor, built in 1938.[5]
