Foxley – 811 Devonshire

A nice old photo from about 1910 showing Foxley, designed by Albert Kahn and built in 1907.

This photo shot back in 2001 shows the house barely unchanged. A true Walkerville gem.

Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday!

  • What's the story behind this house? It is one of my favourites in the neighborhood!
    Is there any info on the beautiful home that is built from large round stones? I think the address is 849 Kildaire. In the summer it has green growth all over it!

  • It used to be a WWI hospital for veterans for a time (849 Kildare). Very original home in great shape. As is the Foxley.

  • beautiful,home,business,retirement and most important of all,this building once was a hospital for WORLD WAR 1 veterans at 849 kildare. A true gem. "just to know" that this great structure and the people who helped the veterans here is a historical memory of the hospital personal,our great soldiers and the canadian citizens of canada of WWI and the freedom we all helped to sustain for our canada and the world.
