Replaced by this:

Pt Grey Road house 1

  1. Assuming it was demoed, then what a shame when a block and half move to a barge would have saved this house for a home somewhere else! The issue is not that it was replaced but that it was lost when it could have easily been saved for the cost of transport.

  2. Cool. A classic heritage home demolished and replaced by a Borg Cube. Set phasers to bewilder. I imagine every time the garage doors open a computerized voice announces “RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.”
