Sitting between an unmatched pair of red brick walk-ups, #182-184 dates to the 1901-1909 time-frame, according to the Might Directories. Goad shows a building resembling this one in place as of 1912, when the lot sat behind the Protestant Orphans' Home. The latter faced onto Elgin and spanned the block from Lisgar to Cooper. Urbsite's article "Coming Soon" includes a photo which reveals 182-184 peering out from behind the north end of the orphanage.
