Our Stratford house had been built in 1877 and was in a dilapidated state when we bought it in 1991. Bill restored it to its former glory as this 2007 photo shows.

The living room of our condo in Toronto, our final home together. We set the hospital bed up in this room so that Bill could be near his piano and see the view.
