Palmerston Boulevard

Notably, it is lit with symmetrically placed cast-iron lamps and canopied by mature silver maple trees.

From the 1920s to the 1950s, the street was made up primarily of middle- and upper-middle-class Jews who were often excluded from elite WASP neighbourhoods.

Nevertheless, in November 2003, city officials proposed replacing the original lamps with aluminum replicas.

Residents of the area opposed the move and in January 2004 City Council voted to keeping the original lights.

However, the Palmerston Area Residents Association noted that the refurbished lights have polycarbonate globes rather than the original glass globes; they also have metal-halide lights rather than the original 100 watt incandescent bulbs.

Originally the College Street Baptist Church, built in 1889, replacing a smaller structure constructed in 1872, was until recently used by a Portuguese-speaking Seventh-Day Adventist congregation which sold the property.

In 2009, City Council approved the designation of the Church under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
