The house today
The building the 1940 directory knew is gone: the City dates the building at 1074 now to 2022; two doors along, 1044 still has one from before 1946, one of four on the block. A permit to build a frame house (the register's number: “ or 1068-1074”) was taken out in April 1908 by Mrs K Fleming: $3,400. (inferred) (the register's number for it is uncertain, but the lot it gives is this address's lot today)
Since 1940
- 2021A building permit for a new building, valued at $4,471,000 (BP-2020-03954).
- 2022Today's building goes up, by the City's record.
