Apparently the earliest house built in the St. James Park Tract, #34 was completed in 1889 on Lot 14 for Mrs. Margaret Hughes to the design of architects Curlett, Eisen & Cuthbertson. Mrs. Hughes died in the house on December 27, 1915; the next day, the Evening Herald ran her obituary at the center of its front page, with an enormous picture, and decribed her as a "PIONEER OF SOCIETY AND WORK OF CLUBS."
The house remained standing until soon after a demolition permit was issued by the city on February 10, 1972. The full story of 34 St. James Park will appear in due course.
