Notes
Charles Soria was coming to Cobourg in the 1890s and rented this house which is now known as Illahee Lodge for a couple of years before buying it in 1899 or 1900. It was originally built in 1878 and was later the residence of William Riddell, Chief Justice of Ontario. The Sorias owned it until 1914 when Madame Soria - Margaret - sold it to Charles Kerr of Toronto, son of Senator William and Myra Field Kerr of Cobourg. Kerr's wife, who was interested in Indian legends named it Illahee - Indian for house-by-water. Scan only.
