     To the left of this painterly scene, the distinctive 278 Crichton has found a new admirer, a little red rent-a-potty. Of #278, Katharine Fletcher (Capital Walks) writes...

[It is] a still beautiful 1908 Rogue Victorian red brick home that is a study in competing shapes and forms...  the squared-off central doorway and the balcony alcove [not visible in this shot] are later additions built when the single family home was turned into the Philip Apartments by the Betcherman family in the 1930s.

     In the foreground sits a vacant lot formerly occupied by the Brunswick Apartments at 280 and a modest older house at 282. This 2010 proposal (pdf) for "New Three Storey Stacked Townhouses (32 Units)" gives us a rough idea of what to expect next.
