The House in the Middle

The house to the east of 3601 Mount Seymour Parkway was at 3615 Mount Seymour Parkway.  It sat in the middle of the cluster of three houses at the corner with Mount Seymour Road.  Its design was the reverse of 3601 with the large living room window to the west of the front door.  It also had windows that could be seen on the lower level below the two small bedroom windows.  And its garage was not under the house, but attached to it.

Again this street and home were not listed in the 1960 or 1965 City Directories.  In 1971 the owners were Peter and Mrs. Catherine T. Waltz. Catherine Waltz worked as an invoicer at Western Marine Supply.  Peter worked as a bartender at the North Shore Winter Club.  In 1980 there was "No Return" to inquiries by the City Directory staff.

In 1991 and 1995/1996 the owner was reported to be Kristina Vanbervoort, an employee at the Hospital Employees Union.  In 1995/1996  she noted that she had lived at the 3615 address for 7 years.  So she must have moved in earlier than the 1991 date, perhaps in 1988.  Another resident at the 3615 address was listed in the 1995/1996 City Directory, that was Gordon Moss, an employee at White Foot Enterprises.
