The building today

The City's list of addresses no longer has 1206 Haro Street, so the building is probably gone (inferred); no building from before 1946 is left on the 1200 block of Haro Street; next door, 1230 has one the City dates to 1987.

The 1200 block in 1940

Haro Street, on the stretch it shares with the 1300 block, between Bute and Broughton Streets, West End: every door the 1940 directory lists on the block, the way it prints them, and what stands at each today. This house is marked in red.
