Draper Street is notable for its collection of 28 nineteenth-century row cottages of the Second Empire style.
[1][2] The street was laid out in an 1856 plan of subdivision by J. Stoughton Dennis[3] of lands that were part of the 1794 Garrison Reserve.
[4] Draper and Charles Jones are listed as the property owners of the lots to be subdivided for development.
The condominium project "The Well" is to be constructed on the industrial lands to the east vacated by The Globe and Mail headquarters.
It will convert a vacant lot on Draper Street into a parkette connecting to the project lands.
The new park features a paved walkway with gardens, benches and cat statue and was designed by Claude Cormier.
