Walkerville Pride

While yesterday we saw the result of neglect, today we shoot over to Willistead Crescent were one of the City’s Designated homes, with a caring owner is undergoing a restoration to a cedar roof.

Built in 1927 for Dr. Charles Hoare, the “Hoare House” was designed by architects Sheppard & Masson.

You’ve gotta give it to roofers. You’d never get me up there! 🙂

  • Walkerville should wake up and have a festival like other small towns.
    All money collected should go towards the repair of old homes / business fronts to maintain the historical value.
    (the funds should go to those buildings for which the owners would otherwise not be able to afford the repairs.)
    All homes would be put into a raffle and the winner would recieve the money in the form of repairs etc.
    (painting, wood work, details, etc.)
    Even the smallest amount of money can make a big difference. What do you think?
