I always found this block of rowhouses interesting! Only example like this I can think of in Regina or Saskatoon. I wonder what the year would be?

You can't make it out in Street View, but I'm pretty sure that's the year right there on the front. I've walked by there a few times but I don't recall the year.

That's quite the increase in assessed value there.

I am not sure what year this building was built. However, there is one other old row house structure that I know of, located in the Crescents. It is called Henderson Terrace and is located on a wedge of land on 18th Avenue (on the front side) and Leopold Crescent on the back side.

"This building is the only remaining example of this style of English rowhousing left in Regina and is a landmark within the historic Cathedral - Leopold Crescent neighbourhood. It was built in 1913 by Charles Gardiner Henderson, a land inspector for the Great West Life Insurance Company. The site today is a large red brick row house now divided into 8 condominium units. It was designated a municipal heritage property in 1983."

I think you missed the above posts, but thank you! It says it's the only remaining example. I wonder where the other(s) were?

Draftsman · #**5286** Posted **Dec 3, 2012, 12:31 AM**

I did read the posts, I just didn't click on the link to BrannyMuffin's post. We had been discussing the row houses on 13th and Cameron. BrannyMuffin's link is for the Henderson Terrace which was built in 1913. Henderson Terrace is five blocks to the south. The original question that Devon asked, when were the row houses on 13th and Cameron built, has yet to be answered.

I wish the city had more pre war rowhouses and apartment blocks.

OMG you totally have to post this in, Regina's "I remember when" thread. I believe that is where Dessart Sweets on 13th Ave is now located.

I had my suspicions. Also the render in the LP looked nothing like the render posted below on this forum.

I thought that might be the case, but no where in the articles on both centres was there any reference to that. Thanks for clarifying. On another point, I noticed in the paper today an ad for a close-out sale at Indigo on Thirteenth Ave. Doesthis possibly mean that the proposed condo development on that sight might be moving ahead in the new year?

Are there renders out for this? If theres not ground floor retail, I will cry. That would be wonderful though, 13th needs a bit more life!

I believe someone posted a rendering many months or years ago on this forum but I haven't gone back to see. My recollection is that the main floor will be retail and it is either a three or four storey structure.

I am not sure this is correct. I know at one point they were looking to work together, but this has since fallen apart. I am very certain that these will be two different data centres of differing sizes, and will be located in two different locations.

Anyone else see the zoning sign at Elphinstone & College for a Single Detached House?

It's on the Northwest corner of the intersection - driving by, it looks like it's being proposed on the Neil Balkwell property, but look at Google Maps, there seems to be a little space just to the north of the Balkwell parking lot closest to Elphinstone. Anyone seen/heard anything about this?

According to the city's taxation and assessment site http://www.regina.ca/residents/assessment/tax-property-search/summary.htm?accountNumber=10036554 there is a vacant lot at 2370 Elphinstone. Follow the link above and click on the "propety map" button to see a local map. If that is the property you are referring to?

Yes, that would be it -- odd placement, IMO.

Note that the existing house's garage door faces this property (granted, the rear/west property line of the proposed development stops short of the neighbour's existing garage).

Looking at it on StreetView, the property must extend into the existing park space a bit (ie: the barracades that currently seperate the east/west laneway from the park will need to be removed). I suspect they'll be able to build it without removing any of the trees, but it will be tight.

I guess the thing that threw me is that the zoning sign is attached to the pedestrain crosswalk sign (rather than a post of its own or the tree that is directly in front of the property), so it looked like they were going to clearcut the trees & squeeze between the lane & Balkwell's parking lot.

Yeah I liked the sound of that line too. It's great seeing both major cities of the province going full bore now.

Regina and Saskatchewan hasn't been this exciting since the 20s...
