Niagara's Spring Magnolias

Hi everyone,
The Magnolia trees are in bud and showing their colour.  Two beautiful Magnolias with beautiful houses are located on historic Yates Street in St. Catharines.  Yates Street was developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s along the banks of Twelve Mile Creek.  There was a spa hotel as an artesian well with metal water was found.  There had been many mills along Twelve Mile Creek and later the Erie Canal.  Shipbuilders were located along the Canal.  As times moved on, the elegant neighbourhood was created with Georgian and Tudor homes.
