History

Named after the Scotsman James Hogg, Hogg’s Hollow began as the location for Hogg’s whisky distillery and grist mill. He was considered to be the most successful of all millers in the Don Valley. In 1856, the son’s of the late James Hogg subdivided the land into 141 individual lots, however only a few homes were built at that time. Only four of the original Hogg’s Hollow homes are still standing. These included two former mill workers cottages now moved to 4150 Yonge Street where they now serve as the entrance to the Auberge du Pommier Restaurant. The other two homes are located at one and five Old Yonge Street. Other historic landmarks in the area include The Jolly Miller Tavern (circa 1857) and the George S. Pratt House (circa 1886).
