NEW BUILDING SITES
The Hooker Survey
[People’s Press, 31 December 1907]
Mr. D.D. Hooker has had surveyed and opened for sale an eligible section for residential buildings in the Third Ward (Welland). Two new streets are laid out, parallel with and south of Maple avenue (formerly Jane street). The first street south of Maple avenue is called Hooker street, and the other Edward street. Fraser street and Queen street will be extended southward to connect with Hooker and Edward streets. Part of the land comprised in the plan was formerly the brickyard, which has been moved to a new location farther south and west. The tract will have sewage outlet through the Denistoun street sewer.
The location is a very central and desirable one, and will be more so when the trolley comes to town, and still more so should a new bridge be placed across the canal near the Beatty works, as will be required in the not distant future.
Already five lots on Hooker street and the Queen street extension have been sold. Mr. Cunningham of the county of Oxford is the purchaser. He intends building good houses upon them in the spring,-in fact, Mr. Hooker intends making it a condition of sale and purchase that only good, creditable buildings shall be built-no shacks allowed.
