Cool. I wonder if one of the earlier owners lived there at one time.

The owner applied to the city in 2012 to convert the two retail spaces into additional residential units bringing the total to eight.” If I may offer a slight correction. There once two upstairs suites that were converted into four. On the main floor, there were two suites in the back. Additionally, there was a small bachelor suite tucked behind the shoe repair place. That was absorbed when the retail was converted. The total of eight units still stands when the shops became residential. <br /><br />I lived at 815 in 3 of the 4 apartments upstairs and 1 of the 2 on the main floor from c. 1982 to 1988. I recall an old house that formed part of the back yard. It faced the building and was boarded up. It could’ve been a garage but it had porch. It was torn down in the late 90s.
