The building today

1311 Beach Avenue still has a building from before 1946, on the City's heritage register (category A), the only one left on the 1300 block of Beach Avenue; Goad's 1912 map shows no building at the street end of the lot, so this one, which the City dates to 1928, went up after it. A permit to build miscellaneous at 1311, 1321 and 1331 Beach Avenue was taken out in October 1927 by Pacific Apartments Ltd: builder King & Marble Hodgson, architect Townley & Matheson, $150,000.
