EPISODE 229 THE BARN THAT ONCE STOOD WHERE A STREET GOES NOW (TRAFALGAR ROAD NEAR HIGHWAY 7]

This suburban Georgetown street on the east side of Trafalgar Road preys on my mind every time I drive by.
(just beside the rail line) The pace of change
has been feverish in the last several decades. Can’t be helped. Can’t be stopped. May well be a
force for good.
But change means loss. New replaces old. Take close look at this street…then try to superimpose
a time when the street was not there…when a large beautiful barn sat four square on the ground
that is now asphalt enclosed by nice residential houses.
Over the years I took several pictures of that barn…even when its demolition was apparent. Even
when fire nearly preceded the demolition.
