This is a historical building in the sense that it is typical of the well built post-WW1 homes built for the ''petite bourgeoisie'' of Montreal. The building in question (2278 and 2280 Hingston) is comprised of two units, one which was intended for occupancy by the owner and the second to be rented out or occupied by a family member. As the buyers were typically relatively well off, they demanded certain ''well being'' comforts, hence each building has a grass covered front lawn to keep the building away from the street as well as having a relatively spacious back yard where the owner could relax with his family or tend to a modest garden. This particular building has been well maintained over the years but has seen only few cosmetic changes to its original design, hence one can see the various conveniences that were built into the walls for the benefit of the inhabitants, for example, an integrated ironing board that could be folded up into its own small cupboard. Bathrooms were fully tiled and equiped (bath, shower, sink, toilet, etc.) , something that many residential buildings dis not fully have at that time (1927). This particular building also had a full size basement with a cement floor, also something that not all units on the street had.
The façade of this house appears in every TV episode of the new Fox drama series "Alert" being filmed and produced right here in Montreal -- starring Scott Caan (of Hawaii Five-0 and Entourage) and Diana Ramirez (also of Entourage, plus Heroes, the Sopranos, and X-Men).
What year was hingston ave built
According to this website, the street was named in 1911 but the page does not say if the avenue was built before, montreal.ca/toponymie/toponymes/avenue-hingston
4125 West Hill should be at 156 164, not 156 167 where the red asterisk is. (Maybe I should have called that OK and not Bad.)
