Jeet adjacent couple buy heritage house and immediately try to modify it
The couple, who identifies as mixed-race, told the board they only discovered their home was a designated heritage property last year, when they began looking into modifying the house's steep stairway from the sidewalk.
Because of that heritage designation, they learned, they'd need to get permission from the city before making any major changes to the property.
BUT fear not, they're brown so rules need not apply because someone, somewhere, was probably racist once.
[the couple are] asking the city to remove the heritage designation from their century home because they say the original owner was racist.
The two-and-a-half storey, 9,000-square foot house in the Yonge and St. Clair area, was built in 1906 for Stapleton Pitt Caldecott, a former Toronto Board of Trade president who was opposed to immigration, a University of Toronto historian says.
!leafs they're probably gonna get the status removed. Aint no judge gonna die on this hill
