Ophelia (242-262 Queen St S) | 11 fl | U/C

[panamaniac]

Are the houses in the front currently used for residential purposes, or is commercial an option? Keeping the houses is a better alternative than a hostile street wall of building, or a surface parking lot.

The 2 houses are currently vacant, and the third is oneroof which is currently operational. 254 Queen had been Bullas Travel but they have relocated and 262 was most recently McKechnie (I can't recall what they did).

I don't think I was ever into the house when Bullas was there, but I have childhood memories of when it was Dr W. MacDonald's surgery (he and his family lived upstairs).  I wonder whether much of the original interior still exists?
