It was posted recently on the Old Vancouver Facebook page. The most complete look at the street I’ve ever seen once you zoom in a bit.

I am doing a bit of research on Alfred St. George and Maud Hamersley. They show up at 1337 Seaton in 1901 and prior. Then 1169 Seaton in 1903. Those addresses are from the BC Directories at the Archives. I was hoping to find a pic of their home, but no luck so far.

There are two relevant Fire Insurance Maps at the CoV Archives that might interest you. I’ll email them. Curiously, there seems to be no reference to a 1300 Block of Seaton. Yet Hamersley is listed there as the only ones on that block. Ah, the never ending mysteries of history.

There is also a nice watercolour of a home on Seaton at the Archives. No address is given, but I would surmise that it is 1115 – 1117 Seaton based upon the footprint of the buildings on the Fire Insurance maps.

Thanks for posting info on Seaton Street

Their house was where the Marine Building is now. I have photos there and at Spuraway as my dad’s family were friends with the Mahons.

I had no idea that that stretch of Hastings was ever known as anything but Hastings. That house looks very much like many of the grand old homes of the Queen’s Park area of New West, many of which date to the 1890’s (as you no doubt know)…
