George Gooderham's house on Bloor at St. George was named by him as "Waveney", after the river where Scole (the family town in England) was situated. The local populace, however, called it "Alca Hall". It is now the York Club.

Editor's note: Why "Alca Hall?"
George Gooderham's 36 grandchildren gathering for Xmas at Waveney (now the York Club) are identified here...maybe. See Most Wanted for the mystery of this photo.
