407 Extension Solina

Demolished House in Clarington, Ontario, Canada

The Hwy 407 extension is creating havoc with properties in its path. Homeowners are being displaced, and beautiful homes are being demolished, all so the provincial government can build a toll road.

The point where the extension crosses this Road, at least six properties have fallen victim. Two have already been demolished. I have recorded the last four. Imagine that these houses will be gone shortly. Great pity!

I love hearing the history on these houses, I also pictured myself walking around with everything in place, the shop setup outback would be ideal for a handyman or mechanic, all hidden away from the road. I've explored quite a bit but this one for some reason was special to me. This expropriation report you speak of, wheee could I find such things? I always remember this one as the hot tub house

There was definitely something about this one that was different from all the others and just to imagine going up that long driveway whith the grass cut it was beautiful I just found out it was built in 1981 and the original owner lived in it since it was built they bought the land in 1978 and the 407 expropriation report says they got 3.6 million for the property when they sold it to the 407
