In 1985, Fauna Coates and her husband purchased a then-condemned cottage on the bottom of Willow Avenue, north of Queen. The cost? $51,000!
Certainly, this would never happen in today’s marketplace.
Thank you Fauna for sending me this wonderful image. You and your husband did an awesome job restoring this house to its former glory.
