Demolished House in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Location # 9641

This location doesn't exist anymore. The house and two cottage-like buildings were demo'd earlier this year to make way for some commercial expansion at Stonechurch and Upper Ottawa.

Folks familiar with this area might remember the house as the place where there were lots of mini bikes and junk.

Very busy location and no POE which doesn't matter since there's a restaurant or something there now.

The status of this site as "Demolished" is incorrect. All buildings associated with this property (1123, 1125, 1127, 1131 and 1135 Stonechurch Rd. E.) are standing as of June 17, 2022. The reason why this property was abandoned is still unknown. The owner used to sell minibikes and ATVs from this location. All-of-a-sudden, the owner and the business disappeared, but no one knows seems to know why. The property is currently owned by Fai Nor Chin and Shee Shing Chin (public record) and on May 14, 2008, an amendment for zoning was submitted to "permit additional commercial uses on the lands located at 1123, 1131 and 1135 Stone Church Road East", to expand the existing By-law No. 92-309 (December 8, 1992), which modified the existing “M-13” (Prestige Industrial) District on the subject lands in order to "permit a restaurant and caterer, including banquet facilities; and an accessory dwelling unit that is accessory to a permitted restaurant use". Whether or not this was successful remains unknown, but I can tell you nothing physical has taken place at these locations other than replacing boards on windows that had rotted. They are still boarded up and no property maintenance has taken place since it was abandoned sometime in the early-to-mid 2000s.
