Types of Homes
Consisting of only 250 households, housing in Rathnelly reflects its middle-class roots. With most homes being built between 1880 and 1910, several properties in the neighbourhood feature tell-tale signs of early Canadian infrastructure, such as milk delivery doors, maid stairs, high ceilings and coal shoots. As a relatively small community, housing in Rathnelly is limited to mainly detached and semi-detached solid brick homes in the Victorian or Bay-and-Gable architectural styles.
