The Bellamys

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists F P Bellamy at 5794 Chester Street; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark).

Today

575 West 17th and 3244 West 3rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 5794 Chester (2006) and 3150 East 46th (1967) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 952 East 7th, 486 Nanaimo, 1616 Nelson and 1035 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
