Ottawa Race Weekend. Great Glebe Garage Sale. Blackjacks game. Rapids game. Athletico game.
This weekend will be an autopocolipse in downtown Ottawa. Bike. Walk. Bus. If you own a car, do not attempt to use it in the city core. Maybe consider selling it at the GGGS

80 1st Ave, later #82, also 567 O'Connor (A&B)
if it looks like it "used to be something else," that's because it started out as a grocery store — William Dier, c. 1910

477 Metcalfe, on the N edge of #theGlebe #Ottawa
a (tilted) dash of contemporary whimsey 🥴
the lot first hosted a 3-row, built in 19-aughts
that building disappeared at some point in the latter 20th and the address languished as a vacant for decades until this was built c. 2010

Cross-gabled and gambrel-fronted, #17 Monkland appears to have been built over the summer of 1920 for Reginald W Morley,
an engineer with the Dept of the Interior.

Goad 1912 shows an empty lot
a flurry of domestic help want ads, posted in 1921 by Mrs Douglas W Cameron suggests a likely construction date
A directory listing from shortly thereafter describes Mr Cameron as "Lt-Col, chief acct House of Commons"

Strathcona Ave doesn't appear in the 1901 Directory.
1908 (our next available volume) lists John T. Hodgkins at #53.
he's described as a "plshr" at Eclipse Manufacturing Co.,
which specialized in steel office furnishings.
so he polished steel filing cabinets.

a 2½-storey BV, the original was awfully small
1912 fire insurance plans (Goad) show it with a square footprint, no deeper than the width we see here 🫢

i'm calling this a postwar walkup — earliest newspaper mentions are for breakins, '54 and '55 🤨
we do find this design set on wide lots with front yards, but at some point, someone realized they'd fit on narrow lots if you turned them sideways, as pictured.

The Globe editorial board agrees it’s time to stop treating on-street parking as a quasi-constitutional right. Transit lanes are key to reducing congestion. They may as well be talking about Bank Street. #otttraffic #ottawa #theglebe

Car owners should pay full freight for their use of city streets, or cede the space to public transit
