Ok thanks for the clarification, now elaborate please - so Jacob lived there? Was Jacob the founder and then A.R. took the company over?
Yes, Jacob built the house and lived there - he was also the one who founded what became Kaufman Rubber, the company he left to A.R. I don't know how long A.R. lived in that house (didn't he eventually end up in Westmount?).
The entry on Jacob Kaufman from the Dictonary of Candian Biography is worth a read. http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/kaufman_jacob_14E.html
