Original Toronto Star caption: Gibson House may have historical value to North York; but it's certainly not worth sending half a million dollars to convert it into a museum; says Controller Mel Lastman. Gibson House; once home of 19th Century pioneer surveyor David Gibson -- who gave the name Willowdale to North York -- today is overshadowed by a 17-storey apartment. Council wants to convert it onto a museum.
