In Cabbagetown, a derisive term for upscale renovators who moved into the neighbourhood was White Painter. Generally that referred to interior colour but there was a movement to paint the outside something other than red. Later the term was replaced with Sandblaster as old paint was taken off to reveal the original brick.

The first picture from the City of Toronto Archives shows 41 Victor in 1924.
Now Michael lives here.
He used to rent out his parking space to the people at 43 but they moved uptown, uptown.
