21 Elm Avenue – Past and Present

Architect Frederick Herbert for Percival Leadley, 1904.

Then. 21 Elm Avenue, circa 1910.

 

Now. August 2011.

 

Rosedale homes often have an interesting and rich history. Like Leadley, many of the families who lived in these homes were entrepreneurs who owned many of the enterprises and factories today. They produced and sold goods, and industrialized our city.

 

What do you think of this little piece of our city’s history? Has the conversion kept true to the historical elements of the home and general preservation of our city’s landmarks?
