The house today

Not one of the nine addresses the 1925 directory lists on the 300 block of Raymur Avenue is on the City's list today, so the building at 327 is probably gone (inferred).

The 300 block, year by year

Raymur Avenue between East Cordova and East Hastings Streets, Strathcona: every door each year we've read lists on the block, the way it prints them, and what stands at each today. This house is marked in red. Pick a year to read who lived at every door.

Who stayed on the 300 block: of the addresses with a named household in both years, how many had the same surname in the later one. A filled house kept its family.
