The building today

The City's list of addresses no longer has 725 Jervis Street, so the building is probably gone (inferred); no building from before 1946 is left on the 700 block of Jervis Street, and across the street the City dates 720's to 1998.

The 700 block in 1940

Jervis Street ending at Robson Street, West End: every door the 1940 directory lists on the block, the way it prints them, and what stands at each today. This house is marked in red.
