In the 70's it was considered embarrassing to own a Victorian home, so they built around them with new (70's) modern designs. Now everyone is spending a fortune to strip away the old additions and restore them to their original Victorian era because it’s back in again. Full Circle Unfortunately, in Toronto we have the opposite problem - idiots are 'remodeling' the few 50's modern homes we have , by adding bay windows, faux stone facades, trim, siding, and shutters. It's heartbreaking! When Toronto is 97 percent Victorian houses or 40's 2-story brick thingys, you'd think these idiots would just buy a Victorian house, instead of buying a cool 50's house and farking it up!
