What's interesting is that when they tore up the lot, there's now a pile of old wood building materials, and it looks like there's some building foundations underneath the lot.
Does anyone know what used to be on that lot?

Looking at the old fire insurance map from 1905, there were houses on that lot. Interestingly, that stretch of Osborne was called Pembina at that point.
