Thomas Evans Bradburn

Thomas Evans Bradburn (May 19, 1853 – November 16, 1933) was a business owner and politician in Ontario, Canada. He was first elected to legislature as the representative of Peterborough West in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1905 as a Conservative, and served until 1911.

In 1874, Bradburn married Catherine Ormond.

Bradburn paid for the construction of the Bradburn Opera House; the opera house opened in 1876. It was demolished in 1974 when the Peterborough Square mall was built.

His former home, known as Bradburn House was used as an orphanage and later as a nursing home. Then, it was used as a student residence by Trent University. Most recently, it was converted into affordable housing by the Peterborough Housing Corporation.
