202 Third Avenue - formerly 57 Elliot Street
Hoy House (1908)
Classic Box Style

In 1908, contractor Henry Hoy built his home at 57 Elliot Street west of Prospect Park (what is now known as Albert Crescent). This Classic Box was not the first house that Henry Hoy built on this site. He is recorded as living here as early as 1878, but his home was subsequently destroyed by a fire. In reference to Hoy's first home, an 1878 issue of the Mainland Guardian quotes: Mr. H. Hoy completed a handsome dwelling near the convent (St. Ann's), hand finished in and out ... centre pieces in principle room designed by T.W. Graham, who assisted with interior fittings. In May 1990, this house was relocated to property at 242 Second Street in order to prevent it from being demolished for an apartment project.
