The house today

Goad's 1912 map draws no building on the lot at 5875, and the building the 1940 directory knew is gone too: the City dates the one there now to 2021; the nearest that still stands is 5862, on the other side of the street, one of four on the block.

Since 1940

  1. 2018A building permit for demolition, valued at $15,000 (BP-2017-04226).

The 5800 block of Angus Drive on Goad's 1912 fire insurance map, with 5875 marked
The 5800 block of Angus Drive, on the stretch it shares with the 5700 block, between West 41st and West 43rd Avenues, on Goad's fire insurance map of 1912; the map may print the street under an older name. The ring marks 5875, placed from the City's address point today (inferred). In 1912 the map draws nothing on the spot where 5875 is today: an empty lot, a parcel not yet cut into lots, or land the survey left blank. Georectified by the City of Vancouver (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).
