In 1943 the street was a nice middle class street. He was paid by the University of Toronto so he would have an adequate income but nothing special.
Probably worth in excess of $2m now
The block the house is on has become one of the most desirable places in the city. Further along, near where I lived, number 62 is for sale at $1.5m, near a busy corner.
