5517 Spring Garden Road
The Blue House!
I love this house and I hope it never disappears! It is from that time of elegances and style, long beautiful dresses and top hats. I always stop by and check it out and wonder just who may have lived there and wonder what they would think now about all the noise and traffic going by now.
On the block between Birmingham Street and Dresden Road there is a building that appears out of place. Situated between FYI Doctors and Tim Hortons, its back garden surrounded by the shops of the Vertu Mall, 5517 Spring Garden Road stands out amongst its neighbours. As the downtown core grows with new high-rises and modern architecture, it is a building that captures the imagination with its stained glass windows, decorative trim, and whimsical purple paint. While respecting the privacy of the current owner, let’s explore a brief history of this property.
