All YouTube →A YouTube creator just posted about why Ottawa housing styles have changed so drastically from the 1950s–70s. Older homes had formal dining rooms, breakfast nooks, different kitchens, finished basements that were built differently. Bedrooms had closets sized differently, backyards were landscaped totally differently. The whole video's about how neighbourhood age and development stage shaped what houses look like and how we actually use our spaces now.
