Tam O'Shanter–Sullivan is a community in the district of Scarborough, in the east end of the city of Toronto. The area is bounded by Huntingwood Drive to the North, Kennedy Road to the East, Highway 401 to the South and Victoria Park as well as Pharmacy Ave to the West. The region, which includes the Tam O'Shanter (east of Warden) and Sullivan (west of Warden) communities, gets its name from Tam O'Shanter golf course and O'Sullivan's Corners.
For MLS real estate listings purposes, the neighbourhood is sometimes referred to as part of the community of Agincourt, which surrounds Tam O'Shanter to the east. Both districts are part of the electoral district of Scarborough—Agincourt. The Agincourt Mall is situated in Tam O'Shanter.
O'Sullivan's Corners, positioned at the corner of Victoria Park and Sheppard Avenues, was named after Patrick O'Sullivan, and formally had only a hotel and a post office, which opened in 1892. The post office was shut down in 1912, but reopened in 1956 at the drug store in Wishing Well Plaza at the south-east corner of Pharmacy and Sheppard, as an effect of the residential developments in the area. A gas station was formally located here along with a hamburger restaurant, Johnny's Hamburgers, which still stands to this day. A new retail development has been built around Johnny's.
Homes for sale in Tam O’Shanter – Sullivan might include properties in the first subdivision of the area called "Town and Country." This neighbourhood has so much history and wonderful schools to offer potential residents. It was bounded by Victoria Park Avenue, Sheppard Avenue, Pharmacy and Ontario Highway 401 (then known as the Toronto By-Pass), or the north part of Lot 35, Concession II, Scarborough Township.
Thomas Mason was the farmer of this land and Town and Country was not hooked up to the sewer system; the houses all had their own septic systems. The headwaters of Taylor-Massey Creek ran beneath the ground through the subdivision, above ground through Wishing Well Park, and under Highway 401. With the widening of the 401, the above-ground section of the creek was buried and the headwaters were rerouted to Highland Creek.
The next subdivision, "Wishing Well Acres" used to be east of Pharmacy on the north part of Lots 33 and 34, Concession II, had been farmed by Christopher Thomson and Ichabod Vradenburg(h) in the 1870s. The community school and the street it is on were named after the Vradenburgs, although the spelling of the street name has been mysteriously changed. Wishing Well Acres was the place of the millionth house built in Canada after WWI.
From 1927 to 1946, Harry C. Hatch trained and raised five Queen's Plate winners on his farm at the northeast corner of Pharmacy and Sheppard. The farm and additional ones in the area were bought by the Robert McClintock Company for residential housing development of Bridlewood in the 1960s.
The company was awarded the Ontario Urban Development Institute Award for the finest development of the year for Bridlewood Phase I in 1964 and Phase II in 1966. Well known residents of Bridlewood include Mike Myers, whose Wayne's World character was motivated by growing up in the community, Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), and David Furnish, who all attended Bridlewood Public School.
