The grey stucco house behind the white picket fence was built in 1942 for $1,700 by owner T. A. Agrellis. Curved window arches on either side of the front door are featured on this house at 1348 Chesterfield Avenue. By 1950 Norman and Emma M. Buckler owned the house. Norman Buckler was retired. They continued to live there until at least 1961.
In 1971 the owner was Elsie B. Schram. In 1980 the new owner was Norman J. McDowell, a janitor for the City of North Vancouver. By this time the house was sitting on the same block as the City of North Vancouver City Hall.
In 1991 the "new neighbor" (a designation by the City Directory) was B. Miles, an employee of R. Brobyn Ltd. In the 1995/96 City Directory Zeon Graphics electric equipment was listed at the 1348 Chesterfield Avenue address. B. Miles was also listed at that address and as continuting to work at R. Brobyn Ltd.
The photo of 1348 Chesterfield Avenue 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. At this time the house was owned by the City of North Vancouver.
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. At this time it was discovered that the home photographed at 1348 Chesterfield Avenue had been demolished. The house lot is now part of a city parking lot.
Demoliton: Between the year 2000 and the year 2007.
