Here's a different approach to heritage restoration. When subdivisions are built in Markham, often any existing heritage homes are moved to Markham Heritage Estates, where they're put into a "heritage subdivision." The result sometimes looks a bit odd, but it's great that the homes are saved.
When existing homes can be incorporated into a new neighbourhood, the homes remain in their original location, so there are also a lot of examples of immaculately restored heritage homes within new cookie cutter neighbourhoods.
