Our house has an age!

While cutting the holes for the electrical work we found some newspaper (we assume from when the house was built). It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the date on the paper is September 17, 1920 (click for a bigger view of the picture).

More on the electrical/holes and progress later...

Some more neighborhood research.

It's been a while since we blogged. We're busy packing up and getting ready for the big move. While procrastinating on packing we've managed to find some more online resources for our neighborhood.

History Lesson

Being from a part of the country where most neighborhoods are fairly new, we've been quite interested in the history of our neighborhood in Toronto. In our searching we found some good resources at the City of Toronto Archives. Below are some pictures we found of houses from the 1960s and a stretch of Danforth from 1925. It's interesting how much things have changed over the years.
