Latterly (i.e. until the addition was built some 20-25 yrs ago), there was a 2/3-storey 40s Moderne thing built for Barclay's Bank IIRC...
One of the rare cases where the landscaping situation has actually improved in the "now" photo!
Then and Now for March 2nd.
Then. Fifty-Seven Castle Frank Crescent. "Seven Oaks. The home of Charles H Fleming." c1910. Same architects as last nights house, busy guys.
Now. August 2011.
I could have stepped inside the gate to take a picture but there were children within...
And.. parked trucks and those young cedars made for a Perfect Storm to defy my picture taking. A Perfect Storm I tell you.
Children??? Lol. Why I find that funny is that these neighbourhoods are seen as family neighbourhoods and pro-family and family, family, family! When ever I walk through them I see a lot of SUVs, some bikes, etc, but NEVER do I see children playing outside or anything. Lol.
Perhaps our Goldie will like this. Perhaps not, but nothing ventured nothing gained.

The link takes you to three wonderful pictures of a disappeared American restaurant chain. Nothing significant about this I suppose but I have this thing for genuine vintage restaurant interiors - newly minted 'retro' doesn't do anything for me. I do know that some of you who like vintage Mid Century interiors will love these.

I don't believe we have much left in Toronto - Frans - can't think of anyplace else right now. Silver Rail, Bassells, the Simpsons store basement curved lunch counter - dining or lunching within - such a sense of occasion - all gone. It's to weep. We have 'Chipotle' instead. And those Peter Oliver restaurants. And mall food courts.. although the one at Village By The Grange has a great indy cafe/Bohemian/art student vibe to it. I'm there at least a couple times a week.
