The house today

A newer building, dated 1988 by the City, has the address now: the wood-frame building Goad's 1912 map draws here is gone, replaced after the 1940 directory; the 1000 block of Alberni Street keeps no building from before 1946; the nearest of its old addresses still on the City's list is 1050, with a building from 1988. A permit to build a store was taken out in September 1930 by Checker Taxi Co: builder K M Skene, $1,600.
