The house today
3024 Alberta Street still has a building from before 1946, as does 3012 next door; its permit is from 1912, and the City's assessment record gives 1912 as its year built. A permit to build three houses at 3012–3024 Alberta, this one among them, was taken out in March 1912 by Ellis & Chayton, owner and builder: $7,150 for the three.
