Did a tour of this today - cycled around Hillhurst and Sunalta to check out ones in those areas as they had good clusters of them making them easy to get to.
Props to the organizers of this - and to the participants of course. Cool to see the history behind some of these places. In this sea of cookie cutter suburbia (I grew up in Edgemont), it was quite interesting to see places with a bit of history to them. Like ones left empty after WW1 due to someone being KIA. Lots of Sears homes in Hillhurst costing $2,000....now worth $500K for the lot alone.
Just a tip for participants - put your details sign somewhere close to the sidewalk where people can read them easily, unless you want us in your front yard. The best details sign had examples of the materials over the years (ie 5 types of flooring) taped to the sign.
