    This now vacant building was built in 1938 as a private home for the adopted son of the founder of the largest grocery chain in Canada. In 1946, the home and property was sold to an MPP and lawyer who would eventually become a prominent judge in the province of Ontario.
    Then in 1953 the land would change owners again, this time it was purchased by a well known and respected Dr who would later be one of the founding members of of of the most prestigious medical universities in the country.
    In 1957, despite much protest from the local community, the property was sold again and was transformed into a funeral home. An addition was constructed to the rear of the home,as well as the terrazzo floor and basement preparation room,
    From 1957 through 2017 this building served the community as a funeral home under several different names and owners until the building was closed and vacated permanently in 2017.
    Today, the property is being considered for a new development of an eight storey mixed use building, consisting of ground floor commercial, 99 residential units and one level of underground parking.
    So, it would seem that the fate of this former residence and funeral home has been sealed and pending full approval of the new development this building will be demolished in the near future.

    It looks like where chairs would be set up and people would visit or even a funeral service maybe held in the large rooms, happy no vandalism. Reminds me of places in the small towns I grew up by in central Mn. Happy all equipment is gone.

    The large green rooms with all of the spot lights would definitely have been the casket selection rooms. And’s somewhere there would have been either an elevator or lift. Moving all the heavy merchandise and the bodies would not have been via the stairs that we saw. Thanks for the tour!

    Wonder if it one time there was a little apartment above the funeral home. In the town where we come from, one of my sisters friends lived above the funeral home here. It was really kind of strange. Pretty cool even though it’s empty. Take care!

She is really enjoying watching your channel. I also turned my ex onto your other other channel. He lives in the U.P. of Michigan and has many waterfalls in his neck of the woods. He really enjoys your Ontario falls. Todays was a nice find and your end of the video was hilarious.

    Cool video. My guess about the super large empty room is that it would have been the chapel. Funeral homes I've been to usually have a big room with pews for some funeral services to be held.

    UBD thats a back breaking Funeral home no wonder they split after years of heavy lifting. Any how i call that Radiator a Column heater or a water/Oil filled Column heater perhaps they acted as side vented heating system if you want the heat in the room open the cupboard door if you dont close it.
