LAST UPDATE: November 21 2020
230 Sherbourne Street, Toronto has been vacant for over a decade. Despite being vacant and partially boarded up, it appears to be actively connected to the electrical system (per electrical lights visible on the interior in July 2019). Attention should be paid to 230 Sherbourne Street to ensure it is not needlessly lost to preventable fires; structural decay; etc.
This house was renovated in 1895 as a single house, from a double. Long history as a rooming house. The death of Drina Joubert, a homeless woman who froze to death in an abandoned truck in the back yard in 1985 triggered a push for subsidized adult housing in the area. The house has an estimated 30 rooms. Two neighbouring houses, 226 and 224 Sherbourne were demolished.
