Old Eastview — 43-45 McArthur Avenue


 When this charming Spanish-Colonial double was built in the mid-1930s, Vanier was still called Eastview, and McArthur was a two-lane. Back then, the house stood at the edge of an expanse of farmland. Behind it, perhaps incongruously, was a one-acre grouping of tennis courts.

As you might guess by its present appearance, the house is slated for demolition, though when, and to be replaced by what, remain vague. It has stood vacant for several years and has "since been the subject of break-ins and unfavourable activity."
