Hi, Char! Re 5 Beaumont, when I was in Toronto last month, I drove by this house and you can barely see it, what with all the scaffolding, etc., that has been erected around it. Apparently a major facelift is going on there! I'm surprised it was built in 1895 - must have been thought of as really modern at the time, or some former resident took off all the Victorian gingerbread that is seen on the homes built around the turn of the century here.
