The building today

975 Chilco Street still has a building from before 1946, on the City's heritage register (category B); the City dates it to 1931, after the 1912 map, so it may have replaced the wood-frame building drawn there (inferred).

Since 1940

  1. 1997–2024Licensed as an apartment house (licences on record start in 1997).

From City of Vancouver open data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver): the property tax report (BC Assessment's years, approximate for old buildings), business licences from 1997 (the kind of business only), issued building permits from 2017 and the heritage register.
