More Black and White

Historic Street

The house at 230 East 10th Street was in 1937 for $2,500. The builder was  J. E. Atkins and the owner was K. Howell.  But long before that there were many houses on the  200 block of East 10th Street.  And there are photographs of many of them in the City of North Vancouver Heritage Inventory 1994.  These include houses on the south side of the street at: 225,227, 231, and 251, and houses on the north side of the street at: 240, 244, 246, and 252.  All these homes were built between 1909 and 1912.

In 1940 Hugh L. and Helen E. Fraser were the residents of the 230 East 1oth Street home.  Hugh Fraser was a branch manager for the Royal Bank.  In 1950 D. P Attchison was living in the house.  In 1960 the owners were G. Edgar and A. Bernice Harding.  G. Edgar Harding was  foreman at Western Bridge.  In 1971 the owners were Micheal D. and May Forman.  Michael Forman worked as a computer operator for MSA.

In 1980 the owners were George B. and D. Helen Kerry.  George Kerry was a salesman for Vancouver Magazine Service.  In 1991 the owner was M. L. Wall.  And in the 1995/1996 City Directory the owner is listed at Carol Newton.

Demolition:  The house was demolished in 2001.
