The house
In 1905 the directory lists John Coville.
In 1915 the directory lists John Enright.
In 1935 the directory lists W S Duncan.
Today
The City no longer lists this address. Lots here were merged or redeveloped, so the building is almost certainly gone.

The record
Each directory's listing for this address, as printed, with its page at the Vancouver Public Library. *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark, printed from 1935).

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.
