ROBERT A. QUINTON HOUSE
Firm: J. A. Cawston
Address: 710 Earl Grey Crescent SW
Date of final plans: May 1958
Status: standing as built
Robert A. Quinton's house on Earl Grey Crescent sits on a 122' by 74' lot that sits atop a hill overlooking the Glencoe Club. The house is a simple L-shaped bungalow with large picture windows. At the rear there is a large concrete porch built into the inside of the L.
I hate to say it, but because of the desirability of the lot, I suspect after the next sale it will be demolished.
