This little cottage on the east side of Dunbar was doomed for demolition due to its being on a 50 foot lot, just too much green space for the current market. Torn down in October or November, this typical cottage perhaps built in the 1920's and located near Stongs is gone, replaced by a much larger house.
The last photo is of the rear of the house. The developers have resisted the temptation (or perhaps were not allowed) to add a third story, over the high basement plus two storeys. Not evident in my photo is the fact that although the house is quite large, it does not overwhelmingly dwarf the neighbouring houses. It appears that there will be a garage, not a laneway house.
