Watt on the Corner

Of the three homes at the east end of the 3600 block of Mount Seymour Parkway was the house at 3633 Mount Seymour Parkway.  It was the house closest to the corner with Mount Seymour Road.  It also had a variation in the design in that there are three windows above the front door.

Again there is no listing of Mount Seymour Parkway or the 3633 address in the 1955 or 1965 City Directories.  And there is no listing of the 3633 address in the Building Permit Book at the North Vancouver Archives. 

But in 1971 J. A. Watt is listed as the owner.  In 1980 James and Margaret I.  Watt are listed as the owners.  James Watt was working as a iron worker at G and H Steel at that time.  In 1991 and 1995/1996 James and Margaret I. are again listed as the owners and listed as being retired as well.  The 2008/2010 North and West Vancouver Phone Directory lists James Watt at the 3633 Mount Seymour Parkway address as well.  That makes 40 years that the Watt family lived at 3633 Mount Seymour Parkway and 20 years that they were neighbors with the Mynott family at 3601 Mount Seymour Parkway.
