A Triplex is Coming
The modern single storey house at 210 West 19th Street and its neighbor at 206 West 19th Street (See Blog Post Friday, April 26, 2010.) are being demolished to make way for a triplex. The triplex will extend from Chesterfield Avenue to the lane.
The 210 West 19th Street house features vertical siding on the west side of the front and on the sides of the house. The area on the east front wall surrounding the living room window is clad in cream brick. The North Vancouver Archives shows no listings for the house in the Building Permit book, or in the 1955, 1960, or 1965 City Directories. However, in the 1971 City Directory, Mrs. Esne Hayes, a widow, is listed as the owner. She is also listed as the owner in 1980, but her first name is spelled Esme.
In 1991 the City Directory reports the house to be vacant. But by 1995 it reports the Jane and Bruce I. MacDonald were the owners. Jane was a widow and worked at Inlet Metal. By 1995 she had been living at her 210 West 19th Street home for four years.
Demolition: Permit applied for in March 2010.
