Flooring in Parkdale

An upper-income residential area in the first half of the 20th century whose large homes were later converted to rooming houses, followed by an apartment building boom from the 1950s to the 1970s that turned streets like Jameson Avenue into apartment rows. Victorian houses survive on Cowan Avenue and Dunn Avenue south of King Street.
