LocationEdit
In 1891, Sunday purchased from Louise Yonge lots 25 and 31 of Block 55 of the Donelson and 19th Arpent tracts. The two adjoining lots, located on the northwest corner of Reus and Romana streets, formed the core of the Sunday House property.
ConstructionEdit
According to family oral histories, Sunday poured the foundation a year before beginning construction, in order to ensure that the foundation was completely settled.
