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.
Rose Cottage
Hazel Cottage
Maple Cottage

The blue house is really so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I included a link to the listing if you wanted to see inside!
DeleteThey are all very handsome houses. I expect the prices would make eyes water.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteI 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....
DeleteYes, these cottages are so cute, with a hefty price tag!
...Jackie, it's easy to see way Toronto's neighborhood are so popular.
