Downtown commercial is always brick in Ontario. In Southwestern Ontairo (basically southwest of London toward Windsor/Detroit), the most impressive houses are often brick but the majority of houses are little white frame houses like these:
Brick houses are much more common in the towns east of London towards Hamilton and Toronto. I tend to show the nicest houses when I do smalltown tours, or at least houses with interesting architectural details. The tours wouldn't be that interesting if they were filled with plain houses like the ones above, but they are the typical houses.
This area is also culturally a bit different than Ontario east of London, this is out of Toronto's range of influence. Note how all these houses have TV antennas to pick up Detroit TV (of course satellite is taking over more recently).

Have you ever taken pictures of Fort Erie or Port Colborne, which aren't too big either? I'm in this area every Summer to visit my grandparents, and plan on going up again this Summer. We should do a tour of one or both. (I also haven't been in Hamilton ever, maybe a tour in your city owuld be nice.)

You should definitely come to the Hammer for a tour this summer.
