Israelite House of David - The Stone House
  
A popular site for visitors to the park zoo was the miniature stone house. The stone house was built by John Heron during the early days of the zoo.
The people in the above picture, going from left to right, are John Heron, standing, Edmond Bulley, sitting, Billy Wright, designer of various buildings, and far right Chic Bell, manager of the zoo.
As the trains left the south park depot en route to the north depot on Britain Ave. they passed along the south side of the zoo and had a wonderful view of the little stone house in this photo below.
While many people remember the familiar little stone house, the gothic miniature wooden house that graced the zoo in it's early years has passed from public memory.
