This semi-detached home is an example of a late Bay-and-Gable design constructed at the beginning of the Edwardian period. The homes are only 90 metres away from the iconic and historic junction of railways that gave the community its name: the Junction. 

1904 marked the start of neighbourhood alcoholic prohibition in the Junction (a restriction that would last until 1997, though with decreasing economic consequences), possibly one of the lowest points in the community's history. After experiencing a large boom in industrial business, the Junction was then hit hard by the Depression and the town struggled economically. Still, there were a large number of homes built and many businesses pushed through the challenging era.

67-69 Hook Avenue represents a time when the Junction began to grow and thrive industrially in spite of these challenges. This style of rowhouse is very common in the area. Its ornate modesty reflects both the neighbourhood's working class demographic and the Victorian era's emphasis on design.
