I have a bunch more but I'm interested to see what others have to share.
I believe that this house in Conestogo was built by the owners of the Tien Hoa Inn.
McDougall Road in Waterloo has a few examples of unique houses. The reason it doesn't have sidewalks between Keats Way and Univeristy, is that it was one of the original areas where people from Waterloo would go for the summer to get away from the heat of the City.
The Shakespeare/Mohawk neighbourhood (Old Beechwood/Beechwood Glen) has plenty of wonderful mid-century modern houses that are well preserved. Abe Weibe, who developed the area, and incidentally who sold own of his plots to the University of Waterloo, definitely had an eye for architecture. You could buy the lot for $3000 and if you had another $25,000, he'd build you a house.
