The building today
The City's list of addresses no longer has 1346 Cotton Drive, so the building is probably gone (inferred); across the street, 1349 still has one from before 1946, one of seven on the block. A permit to build apartment/rooms was taken out in May 1912 by A Yarco: builder A E Hewton, architect T H Bamforth, $10,000.

Cotton Drive between Charles and Kitchener Streets, Grandview-Woodland: every door the 1940 directory lists on the block, the way it prints them, and what stands at each today. This house is marked in red.
