I came across this house unexpectedly, drawn in by its unkempt lawn. I had to wait a day or two before I could visit, and I worried that anything left behind might be discarded if I delayed too long. The house is nestled in a fairly upscale part of the city though.
The house looks to have been built around 1950 and if one assumes that the occupants were elderly and chose not to upgrade the interior, that assumption would be correct. This was the home of V. and L. V & L both have old-fashioned names, which are not as popular today. The wife was born in 1922 and passed away in 2003. The husband was born in 1924 and passed away in 2022.
I don’t have any history on the house itself but I’m going on the assumption that the couple lived here their entire lives. There isn’t much left in the house to indicate what the couple’s occupations were. The house has been vacant for a couple of years and cleaned out of the majority of contents.
The basement has a few rooms and a cold cellar but nothing of interest.
There is still electricity. The land is for sale at just under $1,000,000. When the husband passed away in 2022, the house was sold in an estate sale.
As for the title of this post, it’s a joke. I notice people fabricate celebrities on YouTube who are alleged to have owned Ontario houses. My research always indicates the truth is anything but.
