J M Schneider's mansion was 379 Queen St S, now the head office of Polocorp. If I recall correctly, he previously had a home on Courtland Ave, where he also had his first shop.
Kaufman ... Jacob Kaufman's house was at 621 King St W, now part of the Station Park property. His son, A R Kaufman, had a mansion at 516 Woolwich St in Waterloo, and also a large property at 165 Claremont Ave in Kitchener, although it's not clear whether he actually lived in the house at the latter address.
Claremont was much later (isn't that the "mid-century time warp" one that was featured on a Canadian TV show a few years ago?).. The mansion next to the Augustine home (ie. between Augustines and the church) was either the Kaufman family or the Breithaupt family, can't remember which. I think somebody posted the history on this site at some point in the past. There are a number of Breithaupt family homes in the Queen St N area, iirc.
