Would you climb up to this loft? I did, because it was there!

Have you ever heard of Lustron houses? These photos display 4 of the approximately 2500 of them that were built in the US after World War II. These prefabricated homes were made from enameled steel, and were considered to be extremely durable, and low maintenance (they didn't even have to be painted).

This may look like an air conditioner, but it's actually a heat pump, which explains why it's running in the middle of winter From a property I showed recently, where it was a cozy 22 degrees inside.

Time for another unusually decorated house in Toronto - I suppose I'll eventually run out of them, but this won't be the last one This one is at 550 Manning Ave, SW of Bloor/Bathurst

I had shown this unusually designed house in Ingersoll a few months ago when it was for sale - it had been described as a 'wedding cake' house. The turret was pretty cool!

Finally made it to see Toronto's half house, located at 54 1/2 Saint Patrick Street. This property used to be attached to another row unit, but this other row unit was demolished (in the 70's I believe), to help make way for the apartment building to the North - apparently the owner for 54 1/2 Saint Patrick refused to sell at the time.

All the spelling mistakes on this notice posted in the elevator of a London condo building make my head hurt - and the mistakes aren't even consistent! LOL
