Is there any connection between Haarlem Road and the Dutch-looking facades for those houses?
In that second-last picture, with the cars parked the other way, it made me think it was an American scene for a split second.

I didn't cover Haarlem Road in this set although I was all over the neighbourhood such as Addison Gardens and Sinclair Road. The area's street names don't have a particularly Dutch resemblance though. This area was laid out in the 19th century with a mix of styles. They're not tall enough to look like the narrow Dutch rowhouses I've seen in Amsterdam, and they're from a later era anyway.
