Manor Park housing, explained

Ottawa's first postwar subdivision, now nearly eighty

Manor Park has an unusually specific origin. The first development on the site was the Rockcliffe Annex in the mid-1920s, and after the war Manor Park was built over the top of it as Ottawa’s first postwar subdivision, with the first families moving in during 1947. It was built by a consortium of five Ottawa-area developers and the newspapers of the time described it as Canada’s first completely co-ordinated community. The great majority of the single-family housing stock dates from the late 1940s and early 1950s, which puts it right at the transition point from plank to plywood subfloor, both nailed rather than glued. Eighty years later those connections have had a lot of seasonal movement to work through. The later Cardinal Glen pocket, which began construction in 1988, is a separate and much younger cohort.

5/5

They repaired several damaged hardwood boards in our living room and blended the replacements beautifully with the existing floor. The team was punctual, tidy, and careful throughout the job. You can barely tell where the damage was.

5/5

Our laminate flooring had lifted near the kitchen after a small water leak. They replaced the affected sections and repaired the surrounding area. The finished repair looks clean and matches the rest of the flooring very well.

We needed an urgent flooring repair after several boards became loose and uneven. The team responded quickly, secured the boards, and corrected the uneven sections. Professional service and a high-quality repair from start to finish.

Manor Park squeaky floor questions

How old is Manor Park housing?

The core of it is late 1940s and early 1950s. Manor Park was built over the mid-1920s Rockcliffe Annex as Ottawa's first postwar subdivision, and the first families moved in during 1947. Most of the single-family stock dates from that period, though the Cardinal Glen pocket is much later, having begun construction in 1988.

Is a house from 1947 built the same way as one from the 1930s?

Not quite, and the difference matters here. The late 1940s sit at the transition from plank subfloor to plywood sheet subfloor, so Manor Park houses can have either depending on exactly when and by whom they were built. Both were nailed rather than glued and screwed, which is the shared reason they loosen, but the repair approach differs.

Our Manor Park house is in Cardinal Glen. Is it too new to squeak?

No, but the reason would be different. Cardinal Glen began construction in 1988, which makes it around thirty-five years old, and homes of that age typically have nailed or partly screwed plywood or early OSB subfloor. Squeaks there tend to come from a fastener that missed a joist rather than from decades of accumulated seasonal movement.
