We have so many of these houses in Toronto, the 2 floors over low height garage, and they almost always look like garbage (like the one in the photo does).
This is a good picture. It really shows the contrast between eras of housing styles well. The house in the middle shows up on your block, everything else immediately looks old and dated
Contrast pictures like this help you understand why people in the past made the choices they did. Why when a modern architecture building appeared in a block of Victorians or Edwardian brick they tore down the latter as quickly as possible. You can see why people believed certain styles were embarrassing
