38 Monkland Avenue, the Glebe

 I can see that someone has done my research for me 👍

"This home was designed in the English Cottage style and was first occupied in 1926. The exterior is stucco with small amounts of stonework strategically placed to emphasize the over-sized chimney and the sheltered barrel-vaulted front entrance. The prominent steep catslide gable paired with a narrow window tucked under the eaves is very typical of this style.

OCCUPANTS OF 38 MONKLAND AVENUE:

Robert (& Dulcie) Simpson 1926-1935; Frederick P. (& Helen) Varcoe (DM, Dept. of Justice, Q.C., Varcoe Duncan & Associates 1940-1965; Simon (& Sieglinde) Ince (Research Engineer, NRC) 1970-1974; John S. (& Joyce) Legate (Branch Manager, North American Life Assurance Co.)  1975-  ..."

The date of first occupancy cited above is called into question by this Ottawa Citizen clipping from March 21 1929.
