The building today
The City's list of addresses no longer has 2035 West 1st Avenue, so the building is probably gone (inferred); the 2000 block of West 1st Avenue keeps no building from before 1946; the nearest of its old addresses still on the City's list is 2050, with a building from 1965.

West 1st Avenue between Maple and Arbutus Streets, Kitsilano: 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.
