Daniel Kelly died of apoplexy (stroke) at the family residence at 70 Bond St., Toronto, in 1908 at age 65. Between 1856 and 1910, 70 Bond was occupied solely by single family dwellings. Then, between 1910 and 1924, a number of businesses moved in, including publisher MacMillan Co. of Canada, Canadian Electric and McCall Co. (pattern publishers). Since then, a number of businesses have occupied the space including many legal offices amd Butterfield & Robinson, one of Canada's leading tourism operators. At one point the Building was called St. Martin's House, a more appropriate name may have been St. Michael's House as the neighbours included St. Michael's Hospital, St. Michael's Catholic School and St. Michael's Cathedral across the street.. St. Michael's Cathedral Choir School was built at 66 Bond St. in 1935. 82 Bond St. was home to an earlier neighbour, William Lyon Mackenzie who was a leader of the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, the first Mayor of Toronto and the publisher of an influential Reform newspaper.
