New Home on Tempe Crescent
Three streets curve around the south side of the top of the steep East 29th Street hill in the City of North Vancouver. The first street down from East 29th Street is Somerset St. The second street down from East 29th Street is Brand Street. And the most southern of the three streets down from East 29th Street is Tempe Crescent. Here is nearby Tempe Heights Park.
The house at 560 Tempe Crescent is near the eastern intersection with East 29th Street. The address for the one storey house in not listed in the 1950 City Directory. But in the 1955 and 1960 City Directories the owners are listed as Peter M. and Carol. A. Bricel. In 1955 Peter Bricel was the president of Intercontinental Mercantile. In 1960 he was employed as the secretary-treasurer of B.C. Mercantile. By 1980 the owner was J. Douglas McHaughton, assistant general manager of Nahanni Helicopters Ltd. The "New Neighbor" and new owner in 1991 was Sherry Hawk. She continued to own the house in 1995.
The photo of 560 Tempe Crescent 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.
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. In this same year a Demolition Permit was applied for. By 2008 a large home was built with two front sundecks, 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and a loft space with a total of 4216 sq ft on a 6600 sq ft sun drenched lot. (See Link.)
