So neat to see the house on Hornby Street. My great great grandparents William and Ellen lived at 1020 Hornby Street in those days. They initially were from England/Scotland. I was trying to find any photos of that block. Neat!

Hi Eve:
Read the book, it was great !! Do you ever have book launches? Now reading the Murder by Milkshake, so far it’s very good. 🙂

That is so interesting. The 918 home lovely and the one in False Creek also. Wonder if it was on the filled in part. Were there homes along its shore? Hmm

Love the history of Vancouver. Having said that, to me heritage homes and one hundred structures become high maintenance. New owners want and need more than ever before and that includes hard cash. There might be a dozen old buildings like the Sinclair Centre and a dozen homes that look great today and should be kept just the way they are(if possible).

When I worked for the City of Richmond I discovered thrown in a recycle bin at the Works Yard a very old Photo Scrapbook containing hundreds of photos, some with info on the backs. I have scanned many of these and have used them in my collage work. I find it difficult to understand how someone could simply chuck these treasures into a recycle bin. I really have no idea of who the people are but use them often in my compositions and colorizations.

Visual Anthropology – yes, it is a thing. Note how there are no manicured lawns in the 1890s photos of homes, for example.
