This huge house has risen on the west side of Harper Ave in Moore Park where demolitions are eating away at the number of original 1920s homes that first sat here. The action is not as manic as it is Leaside, but it seems to be heating up. 56 Harper sits on the sloping rocky ground that is Moore Park, terrain that gradually loses elevation from the shore of the pre-historic Lake Iroquois (above the CP tracks) down to the tributaries of the Don River. The house is very tall and most unusually it has a double car garage inside the home at ground or street level. It appears, from the height of the windows on the next level that the living quarters begin one floor up. It will be an elegant setting but the front entrance is not clear just yet. There will be some steps. You could see how an owner of this home might like an elevator in his garage to get to the kitchen and sitting rooms but there is no indication about that, one way or the other. In any case, it is evidence again of the resources being driven into fines homes in this area. Harper Ave. home has garage at street level
