September 2024 - Toronto ON
Click here for a history of Toronto lane naming and a list of other lanes. That post is a work in progress, and hasn't been updated in a while.





I found this lane when I was looking for Cabano's!



These cottages are actually on St. Nicholas St.
A very rare example of a surviving Victorian terraced row of ten residences located in Toronto's downtown core, 45-63 St. Nicholas Street is unique to say the least. It sits just several hundred metres from Young and Bloor yet feels like a quaint neighbourhood block. St. Nicholas Street was in fact originally an alley lane before the row was constructed in 1884. Each Bay-and-Gable "cottage" is named after a local flower, tree, or plant, as indicated by inscriptions on the buildings' façades.

Oak Cottage and Elm Cottage


Ivy Cottage - happens to be for sale for $1.9 million.

  2. They are all very handsome houses. I expect the prices would make eyes water.

    1. The prices are not bad (by Toronto standards) the one that was for sale I googled and it is listed at $1.9 million. I included a link to the listing where you can peak inside.

  3. I re-signed into my google account and now I can comment on many blogs that I could not before- including yours. Victorian houses are always spectacular. We owned one in the city of Trenton , NJ (a rental property) for 44 years and just sold it last year. Lovely photos in Toronto!!

    1. I also can finally get into my google account this week, without going incognito! They must have done something. However, I can't upload photos unless I go incognito....
      Yes, these cottages are so cute, with a hefty price tag!
