Mr. Winfield N. MacQueen purchased the land where the Edward Crown Center for the Humanities stands from St. Ignatius College, and purchased a house from an owner whose last name was Shane, which he then moved to the land he purchased from St. Ignatius. The Macqueen family moved into the house circa 1919 and stayed until 1965. Macqueen was an investment banker (mortgage and bonds), and owned W.N. Macqueen & Company.
In 1906, Holy Family Parish purchased 19.5 acres on Cape Hayes in 1906. At that time, there was only a lakeside riding school and stable there and the home of Winfield N. MacQueen on Hayes Avenue where the Edward Crown Centre for the Humanities now stands. Hayes Avenue was later renamed Loyola Avenue.
