House in the Back
The first mention of the 238 West 28th Street address at the North Vancouver Archives seems to be in the 1955 City Directory. Then, not really the address just the designation "ns New House" is listed between the 235 and 242 West 28th Street listings. In 1960 the residents were Don P. and Muriel V. Fletcher. Don Fletcher was employed as an office manager at the Hudson Bay Company.
In 1971 the owners were Leo J. and Claire A. Schaff. Leo Schaff worked as a mechanic for the North Vancouver District.
By 1980 the owners were Ronald I. and Cindy Burrows. Ronald Burrows was employed as a maintenance manager for Smart Coach Lines. They continued to own the house in 1991 and 1995/1996. In 1991 Ronald Burrows was a manager at B. C. Transit and in the 1995/1996 City Directory his occupation is listed as a manager of Perimeter Transportation Ltd.
The house at 238 West 28th Street is in the Upper Lonsdale area of the City of North Vancouver. It is 1 1/2 blocks west of Lonsdale Avenue and 2 blocks south of Queens Road. There is an out building at the back of the lot of approximately 850 square feet that was allowed because of the size of the original home and the size of the lot. This was built around the year 2000.
