370 Athlone Ave | 11m | 3f | Proposed
I just discovered this one on Woodcrest Ave in Alta Vista. Definitely one of the most interesting homes in the city.
Well that's something. Looks like a fire station built in the 2000s.

Saw demo fences at 453 parkdale - the old girl guides building. Found the listing from over 10 yrs ago. Didn't realize the weird L-shape to the lot with parking off Foster.
Hadn't realized it was also a former funeral parlor.
"The house portion was built in 1899, back when Parkdale was still known as Queen Street. In 1925, the house was bought by Albert E. Veitch and converted into a funeral home. Was known as Veitch & Son, in 1953, a few years after Albert died, became Veitch-Draper Funeral Home. In 1985, they sold and it became Duncan Funeral Home, with the last funeral work being done in July 1989."

They moved the name Queen Street from Parkdale to Downtown? Or was Parkdale in a different city at the time?
So funeral parlor became Girl Guide Ottawa HQ? Some Benjamin Button stuff there.

Those fences have been up for a built. There were asbestos removal signs up for a while, not sure if those are still there.

Yes, the asbestos removal signs were still there.

Parkdale was originally Queen street when Hintonburg was its own (very small) community. Richmond Road/Wellington was still a toll road at that time and there was a hotel where the farmers would stay where the new Shepherds of Good Hope retirement home is today.
