Location # 5154

"With every passing week, more and more homes are vacated, as the government expropriates home owner's land with plans to destroy these family homes and farms to make way for the new 407 highway extension.

After exploring The Beauty & The Beast, which opened this 407 series, we continued on our mission of documenting these expropriated homes. Our next stop was the Beautiful Batty Baldwin House.

Demolished in early May of 2013."

I didn't say it was important. Obviously how you document it is...
