Ivy House - 495 Victor Street (R.I.P.)

© 2019, Christian Cassidy


 This "workers cottage" was constructed in 1905. It was 800 square feet with no basement. The first residents were a trio of loading bay workers, one of whom as employed by Eatons. In 1907, it was owned by John Evans, teamster.

In 1922, it was purchased by Cecil Frances Lloyd and his wife, Maud. For more about the poet and his tragic death here, see my West End Dumplings post.

The house was destroyed by fire in 2019.
