The house

In 1905 the directory lists John Draney, a canner.

In 1925 the directory lists T B Christie.

In 1935 the directory lists B Ronald.

In 1945 the directory lists C N Johnson.

Today

The City no longer lists this address. Lots here were merged or redeveloped, so the building is almost certainly gone. On the 1912 fire insurance map it stood on land that is part of 77 East Broadway today (inferred). We confirmed the number through the heritage register: Goad's 1912 prints “2441” on lot 9 block 50; corner lot; the number is printed on the Quebec side.

1955

No Quebec Street in this directory: no 2400-block entries in 1955 (1915-1945: 2438 and 2441); the directory prints "E 8th and E Bway intersect" with nothing between.
