I crossed Harbord Street a few months ago to reach Spadina Avenue. Harbord Village is a established, gentrified area but there was a little section of Harbord Street between Spadina Avenue and Huron Street that was distinctly abandoned, with the old houses crumbling. Here are some of the sad, derelict houses I encountered:










I wonder if these are not owned by the U of T, who might be letting them decay so as to make a future bid to rip them down for future development.
Harbord is such a neat eclectic street. Bob is right, U of T probably has first dibs on them.
