The westington house building the offices have been renovated. There is so much potential. We are kinda stalled right now due to the pandemic. 2020. Hope it can get tenants.

again very cool video I appreciate it very much being now 49 years old and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor and use a cane for balance when I'm outside walking around don't get a chance to see much of Hamilton, my mom's side came here in late 1950 shortly after she was born August 21st 1950 and they settled in westdale. My dad's side settled in Toronto in 1964, from Macedonia.

I grew up on St Olga St, There was only 3 houses on that block behind the polish school. My family, and 2 of my aunt/uncles owned the other 2 houses. We were forced to move out so the polish school could expand there parking lot, Hence my house and my family members right next door to me. The only 2 on St'Olga were torn down. Now my cousins still own the house across the street on Soldernosc/St Olga corner.

Only 1 of the 3 houses still exist, but the parking lot corner of the polish school had 2 houses right on the corner, both aged over 100yrs old before they were torn down in 1998
