The Hwy 407 extension is creating havoc with properties in its path. Homeowners are being displaced, and beautiful homes are being demolished, all so the provincial government can build a toll road.
The point where the extension crosses this Road, at least six properties have fallen victim. Two have already been demolished. I have recorded the last four. Imagine that these houses will be gone shortly. Great pity!

I love hearing the history on these houses, I also pictured myself walking around with everything in place, the shop setup outback would be ideal for a handyman or mechanic, all hidden away from the road. I've explored quite a bit but this one for some reason was special to me. This expropriation report you speak of, wheee could I find such things? I always remember this one as the hot tub house
There was definitely something about this one that was different from all the others and just to imagine going up that long driveway whith the grass cut it was beautiful I just found out it was built in 1981 and the original owner lived in it since it was built they bought the land in 1978 and the 407 expropriation report says they got 3.6 million for the property when they sold it to the 407
There was somthing about this one I really loved, I'm sad to see it go. Thanks for keeping the updates rolling!
They only demolished the big shed they are just starting the house now will get some pictures
Was there today. Seen the excavator in the driveway, this one will be gone any day now.
There is an excavator sitting in the driveway and there is a gate up infront of driveway probibly being demolished next week
I was here today and the fireplace in the basement is gone and the ceiling in basement are torn apart and I saw someone there when I drove by yesterday
