Age 6 or 7, mid 1950’s, I remember sitting on our front porch crying my heart out as the beautiful character homes across the street were all being torn down. I can still picture them. Wd love to see some photos, 3400 East 22nd Ave, Vancouver. Eve, wd appreciate your help if and when you may have time. Thx. A long time fan.

I lived in a house at 1257 Barclay St from about 1965 to 1971. If you google that address you will see a picture from the late 1800s with Dr Spencer and his wife standing in the front yard. The house had two fireplaces on the main floor and was surrounded by early high rise apartments It had many great memories for me. I bought my first motorcycle when I was just 15 years old. It sat in the basement for one long year until I got my drivers license. I polished it weekly and learned to ride it in the West End.

Thanks for this Eve. I did some research on my house years ago, before there were so many on line resources. Perfect time to do iit again. Passing this on to the Strathcona Residents Association who have MANY members who might find this useful. Im recommending they sign up with your blog too.
