The building today

Goad's 1912 map draws no building on the lot at 1820, and the building the 1940 directory knew is gone too: the City dates the one there now to 1977; the nearest that still stands is 1835, on the heritage register, on the other side of the street, one of two on the block. A permit to build a house was taken out in November 1927 by H Rosenblat: builder Galloway & Son, architect Richard Thomas Perry, $50,000.

Since 1940

  1. 1977Today's building goes up, by the City's record.

From City of Vancouver open data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver): the property tax report (BC Assessment's years, approximate for old buildings), business licences from 1997 (the kind of business only), issued building permits from 2017 and the heritage register.

The 1800 block of Bayswater Street on Goad's 1912 fire insurance map, with 1820 marked
The 1800 block of Bayswater Street, between West 2nd and West 3rd Avenues, on Goad's fire insurance map of 1912; the map may print the street under an older name. The ring marks 1820, placed from the City's address point today (inferred). In 1912 the map draws nothing on the spot where 1820 is today: an empty lot, a parcel not yet cut into lots, or land the survey left blank. Georectified by the City of Vancouver (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).
