Grey Stucco on East 11th
The grey stucco house at 509 East 11th Street was built in 1946 for $4000 by G. Manke. In the same year he also applied for a building permit for another $4000 home in the City of North Vancouver. That one was at 743 East 5th Street. The two homes are not far from each other. 509 East 11th is just west of Grand Boulevard and four blocks north of East Keith Rd. 743 East 5th Street is just east of Queensbury Avenue, which is a southern extension of Grand Blvd., and one block south of East Keith Rd.
In 1950 Carl W. and Gladys P. Andersen owned the house on East 11th Street. Carl was employed in the office at Wendall Co. Carl and Gladys lived there for at least 10 years. And in 1960 Gladys was working as a relief teacher in the North Vancouver School District. But by 1971 Doris and Campbell Mc Phail had bought the house. The history of the house then becomes the history of the Mc Phail family. In 1971 Campbell was employed as a janitor for the North Vancouver School District. He was retired by 1980. He and Doris continued to live in the house at least until 1995. By that time Kenneth Mc Phail also lived in the house. In the year 2000 Kenneth and Kevin Mc Phail were the residents. But in the 2008/2010 phone book only Kenneth is listed at 509 East 11th Street. The Mc Phail family had made the grey stucco house their home for at least 39 years.
Demolition: Permit applied for March 2010.
