The house

In 1915 the directory lists Angus McAndrew. One other listing shares the address.

From 1925 to 1945 the Jackson name is in three directories in a row (printed “Jackson W D” and “Jackson Mrs A”): W D Jackson, in 1925. The directory marks the name with *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of its knowledge. One other listing shares the address.

After 1945 we don't show residents' names: in 1955 the directory lists two households.

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 125 East 10th Avenue today (inferred). We confirmed the number through the heritage register: Goad's 1912 prints “2530” on lot 12.
