Here's the house in 1968 (no women on the lawn):
1913 map (note: house is Lot 42 and there is no Duplex Avenue yet):
1924 (Duplex has arrived and the Yonge frontage has been built upon):
1950's map (Albertus is the first street on the south):
It's alright about the lack of women on the lawn.
So many details here to study.
Stan Muston used to have live ducklings at Easter in their window. Bought my date a corsage for the high school prom from there.
Stainton's hardware on that block was a humming place when I was a boy. Further up was Hopkins Cycle; father and son ran it together. The son would be in his 80s now.
The IODE Childrens Hospital lay abandoned until about 1970 when the land was developed.
In the 1950s map, the house on the NE corner of Duplex and Albertus - now gone, a 1870s looking thing - just above the '536.0' on the map was owned by the man who ran the Morley Bedford funeral home on Eglinton west of Yonge.
The Shell station... a police chase around 1970 ended in a shootout there at night, behind the station. The suspect died.
Thank you thecharioteer.
