The house today

3182 Adanac Street still has a building from before 1946, as does 3181 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 1930, went up after it. A permit to build a house was taken out in June 1930 by D Alsbury: builder H Pennycook, $2,500.
