Formerly the location of the Crabapple Restaurant, this building currently houses a business called Rehab First. It is private property and should only be viewed from the sidewalk.
Reports of paranormal activity at this site centre around the ghost of Victoria, a young girl who died after falling down the steep cellar steps. Victoria made herself known to the restaurant staff, either in the basement or on the stairs. Often, however, she could be found in the kitchen banging around pots or singing lullabies.
When the restaurant was converted into office space, the contractors were warned about Victoria. The contractor, Mario Morello, says the first thing he noticed was the disappearance of his tools. He did not meet Victoria, however, until one morning when he started to tear down the bathroom. When he walked into the bathroom the door slammed behind him. He put down his tools, opened the door, and it slammed again. There was no wind or draft to explain the slamming door. Morello thought that maybe Victoria was taking a bath and tried to spook him because she did not like the company.
