Green Lane House

Demolished House in Markham, Ontario, Canada

Recent status Demolished
Location # 10799

UPDATE 2024: it was finally demolished this year. between 2020 and 2023, someone purchased the property and actively used the barn for a few years. but finally, all of the structures on the lot were razed sometime this summer.

UPDATE 2020: somehow the house and the barn behind it is still standing there

This is one of the last pre-1980 structures on Green Lane which was not being used for commercial purposes. The property was recently sold off for over a million dollars, but not to the developer who developed the former Canac Kitchens factory site into a new townhouse subdivision. The house has a City of Markham work order for its demolition, which is why I figured that the house should go on this site before it's gone. It was only boarded up a month or two ago, prior to that the house was in pretty nice condition (refer to Google Street View). Shame this building is going, because as I said, it's from the era before the residential area next to it was built.

In terms of security, it's probably not a smart idea to go in there because it's likely got an alarm system (especially because it's been sold off) and it's in a commercial area.

I am unable to set the status to demolished, but it was demolished sometime this year (2024). RIP.

okay sorry im new i fixed some of it some of the boards have been taken down in front of the house as the owners are beginning to clear out decades of whatever was left in the house. the front door for the enclosure they had at the front of the house is gone, i guess one could go in if they really wanted...

Also not a good idea to use the address as the location name. Too easily found on google searches.
