Lynn Valley Wellington

Wellington goes here, there, and everywhere. And it is a Crescent, a Place, and a Drive. Wellington Crescent is in the Capilano Highlands area. Wellington Place is in North Lonsdale area. And Wellington Drive is in Lynn Valley area. But all are in the District of North Vancouver.

The one storey house in the photo above is at 1152 Wellington Drive, in the Lynn Valley area. It was built in 1953 for $8,500 by E. C. Anderson (spelled with an "o" in the Building Permit Book). In 1955 and 1960 Edwin C. and Olive Andersen (spelled with an "e" in the City Directory) still owned the house. In 1955 Edwin Andersen was a clerk at CGE. In 1960 he was employed a a wholesales man at CGE.

In 1971 Joseph and Pearl Alterio were the owners of the Wellington Drive house. They reported to the City Directory that they were retired. There was
"no return" to City Directory inquiries in 1980. In 1991 and 1995 L. J. Chasmar lived in the house. In 1995 L. J. Chasmar reported he had lived there for six years.
