2031 Vimy Ave

Ad from 1929

Harley Kerr was a prominent building and developer in South Walkerville in the pre-depression days. In fact it seems he built and designed most of the block of Vimy between Kildare & Byng. The house above in the ad was then 71 Vimy. It looks like today, the house is 2031 Vimy, and as of the streetview time, the original garage is still standing back there.
