Unique Houses of Waterloo Region

Interesting thread.  

I once lived near 100 Mansion and it was a church used by a Christian sect, possibly East European.  Hearsay has it they wanted to build a church, started it, ran out of money and settled for a basement.

Great idea for a thread.

A number of local churches started life as "basement only".  Two of them are on Ottawa St S. between Mill and Hoffman.  There's another one on Stirling Ave S at Pleasant Ave.  All three basements dated from the fifties - the sanctuaries above are from the '60s or 70s.

One Kitchener house that intrigues me is the one beside Victoria Park bounded by Jubliee Dr., Heins Ave and Water St S. - it has two fronts and no back!
