Glenora in the Capilano Highlands

This white single storey home at 925 Glenora Avenue is in the Capilano Highlands area of the District of North Vancouver. Glenora Avenue is a short street that crosses Highland Blvd. but both to the east and west soon terminates, in Vale Court and Dudley Rd. The house was originally built in 1949 for $6000 by M. Anderson.

By the next year, 1950, the owners were J.H. and Mildred Garner.  In 1955 the Garners built a $350 addition to their house and a $250 carport. They continued to live there in 1960 during which time J. Garner worked as the B.C. representative for Wallaceburg Brass.

In 1971 the resident was Brian J. Woodward who was employed as a mortgage accountant at Montreal Trust. In 1980, 1991, and 1995/1996 City Directories lists Brian J. and Patricia Woodward  as the owners of 925 Glenora Avenue. During these years Brian Woodward was employed as a trust officer at Montreal Trust. Brian Woodward is also listed at the 925 Glenora Avenue address in the 2008/2010 North and West Vancouver Phone Directory. So that means that Woodward's  lived in the house for almost 40 years.

The three bedroom ranch style house is 1,400 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a fireplace. It sits on a 8050 sq. ft. lot. For interior photos see the Link below.
