Profile of the Hinton family - Part 2

In this week's new Kitchissippi Times: Part 2 of my three-parter on the story of the Hinton family. Digging deep in the archives to piece together their story, including rare photos that finally put a face to the name "Hintonburg". This part focuses on the years when the Hintons came to Richmond Road, built the amazing house you see in the photo below, and took the original steps to create the community.
