Here’s a little picture I came across a while back, what a beauty this place was. Sad that it didn’t survive.
From The Windsor Star, April 15, 1959:
Here is the site where the houses once stood. There was a bank on the corner, and then these row houses.
Over half a century later, it’s still a parking lot.

The Evening Record, April 20, 1901 - Dr. Cruickshank's New Terrace - The above cut is a facsimile of four modern dwellings for Dr. Cruickshank, located on the corner of Chatham St. and Victoria Ave. They are built of veneered brick. There is a large basement containing store rooms and laundry and furnace room. On the first floor is a reception hall, parlor with handsome mantel, dining room with a fine china closet, kitchen is large, with a convenient pantry. All the rooms are well lighted. The main rooms are finished in oak. On the second story there are four bedrooms, bath with modern plumbing, and a large linen closet. Williams Bros. are the architects of the building, and they expect to complete it by June.
