Van der Smissen for $29,000 and takes in Nos. 73 and 75 Grosvenor Street and No. 15 Surrey Place. The house on the extreme left with the verandah showing was the home of the late Dr. Beattie Nesbitt and is now occupied by the Neighbourhood Workers’ Association. It was purchased from the doctor’s widow, Clara Louisa Nesbitt, for $28,500. Each parcel occupies 75 feet frontage on Grosvenor and has 110 feet depth.
