The one on the NW corner is (like another you've mentioned here) now subdivided into apartments, but was at one time a single family dwelling. It's massive. The house on the SE corner used to have the Montessori school in it (this was 5+ years ago, when I used to live in Regina) and looks like it should be on Albert St.<br/><br/>The house I grew up in is right around there, too (2858 Angus) - it was built in 1912. My parents had panoramic photographs taken from the roof of the Leg that showed its construction: one year, a pile of lumber on an empty lot, and another shot a couple years later, our house finished and the one north of it (built for the same family) in the beginning stages of construction.
