This group of worker's rowhouses on Brock just north of Queen appear to be in a sad state of repair as of April 1938. They were probably built in the 1880's and by the time these photos were taken already 50-60 years old.
However 6 months later they've been restored and given a new lease on life.
Another 70 years later.
The same group, this time looking north in April 1938.
