Along West 34th Avenue between Dunbar Street and Blenheim Street, the lots are large, with 50 foot wide frontages in the 3500 block and 60 foot wide frontages in the 3400/3300 block. The original homes were built in the 1920's and are disappearing.
Heading east away from Dunbar Street, we see #3530 built in 1928. This house appears to be remodeled at the front entrance, but the unique roof line is probably original. It was sold in September 2013 for just over $2 million dollars. The first photo is from a dark day in November 2013.

The second photo is from February 2016.
Continuing east, #3425 was built in 1930. It was for sale in 2012 as a "country cottage in the city". Unfortunately, I never got a better photo of this cottage.
Across the street, #3433 has also disappeared. I have no photo of it because I did not expect this 1990 house to be torn down. It sold in September 2014.
A lovely home was built in 1925 at #3341. These are photos from November 2011 and March 2012.
By January 2016, demolition was beginning.
I'll be taking a future walk on West 34th because I see other 1920's houses slated for demolition.

Thank you for this, we lived at 3530 west 34th from 1962 to 1985. Loved it, and even though it had been reno'd since we lived there, could still tell you stories about climbing out the 2nd story window to sit on the porch overhang and look at the stars.
