From that grand plan, we did get 2/3 of it built, sadly the garage was pulled down some time ago, and only the apartment building survives to this day.
An ad for the garage from 1937.
The apartment building however, is one of the architecturally pleasing buildings in the city.
I’m happy at least this part survived.
Have a good weekend everyone, see you back on here on Monday.

OK, thanks Andrew!
the apartment building at 1616 ouellette has an old fashioned elevator like you mentioned
Reminds me of The Dakota in Manhattan. Can't wait for the surrounding area to be rejuvinated, apartments here are gonna go like hot cakes!
too bad the whole building apparently still smells like marijuana.. crossed off my list.
My Grandparents lived on the basement floor in this building. When I would visit them I would walk to the movie theater and see the matinee's. My Grandmother worked at Birks (sp). My Grandfather worked at the bank. This was circa 1960. I was so thrilled to see this photo. The Nordens lived where the front, 1st apartment on the bottom right. Thanks for giving me this wonderful memory.
