Ansnorveldt

THEN.....
NOW.....

The photo at top is from Elizabeth Gillham's Album of Oldies.   It shows the Holland Marsh hamlet of Ansnorveldt as it appeared in 1934.   I'm not sure that much has changed over the past 80 years in overall appearance and layout of the community along Dufferin Street.   Most of the original homes retain their shapes, with some embellishments added over the decades.   While the streetscape may not mimic the historical legacy of the rest of King Township, it certainly preserves the original design features of its 20th-century Dutch pioneers.
Please comment if you wish.
