The house today
2224 Alberta Street still has a building from before 1946, on the City's heritage register (category B), as does 2227 across the street; Goad's 1912 map shows no building at the street end of the lot, so this one, which the City dates to 1915, went up after it.
Since 1940
- 1997–2024Licensed as an apartment house (licences on record start in 1997).
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.
