A Brief History of 942-944 St. Charles Street

See Victoria Heritage Foundation.

942 St. Charles Street was built in 1909-1910 by architect Samuel Maclure and contractor George Calder for William and Mary Todd (nee Butchart).

William Todd (1885-1942) was a member of the Todd family which owned Illahie, 1041 St. Charles Street, one block toward Fort Street. In 1910, in the grounds of 1041 St. Charles Street, he married Mary Chatwin Butchart, the daughter of Robert and Jennie Butchart (of Butchart Gardens fame).

The newly wed couple then moved into the new home they had had built at 942 St. Charles Street, which they named Wilmar, a contraction of their names, William and Mary.

William Todd lived here until his death in 1942. After William Todd’s death, Mary Todd continued living at 942 St. Charles until the early 1950’s, when she moved into her sister’s home at 906 St. Charles Street. She died at 906 St. Charles Street in 1972.

In 1952, 942-944 St, Charles Street was converted into a triplex.

In 1993, 942 St. Charles Street was converted into two strata condominiums, one at 942 St. Charles Street and the other at 944 St. Charles Street. As part of the same 1993 project, nine new townhouse condominiums were built on the Wilmar grounds and given the new address of 919 Pemberton Road.
