The building today
The City's list of addresses no longer has 2075 Nelson Street, so the building is probably gone (inferred); the 2000 block of Nelson Street keeps no building from before 1946; the nearest of its old addresses still on the City's list is 2050, with a building from 1963.
The 2000 block in 1940
Nelson Street starting at Chilco Street, 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.
