The Blue House With the Rock Wall
The cheery blue house at 303 East 18th Street was built in 1946. The owner of the $2,700 house was Stanley G. Evans and the architect was Jacobson. Stanley Evans was employed as a builder. He continued to live in the house until at least 1971 at which time he reported to the City Directory that he was retired. In 1980, 1991, and 1995 the house was vacant, there was no return to City Directory inquiries, or the resident could not be verified.
The photo of 393 East 18th Street was taken by Suzanne Wilson as part of her Year 2000 Photography Project, Your House/Our Home. 2000 photos of homes in the City of North Vancouver were photographed. Approximately 800 of these were accompanied by some history from the present or previous home owner sometimes including personal photographs.
In the month of June 2007 Suzanne Wilson celebrated the City of North Vancouver's 100 birthday by distributing to their home owners copies of 1000 photos taken for the Y2K Project. At this time it was discovered that the home photographed at 303 East 18th Street had been demolished and a new house had been built.
