Hi Is there anyone on this list from Vancouver ?? If so please can you tell me if 1788 Haro Street is still standing. Is it a house or an apartment or what ? My Great Uncle John Brown lived there in 1941. Any help would be most welcome. Helen
Good Morning Bill and Helen, The Address is in the West End of Vancouver - very near Stanley Park At aprox corner of Denman and Haro Street. http://www.mapblast.com/(kd4zltea1hgw1u45321wlh55)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=49.29062%2c-123.13632&A=7.16667&P=|49.29062%2c-123.13632|1|1788+Haro+St%2c+Vancouver+BC|L1| Tiny URL for the Above: http://tinyurl.com/4gjrl A search of the City Directories - for the time frame 1941 can be searched to see if it was a house - or apartment building. May have been a large rooming house as well. The directory will show - names of all persons living at the address. There are very few houses left in the West End - most are high rise - or semi high rise apartment buildings. Depending on the weather - I may get a chance to get out of the house - and go into town - sometime today, If I do - I can probably take a stroll - to the address - to see what stands there now. Otherwise - not till after April 2 - when I know I will have a couple of free days, friends ate taking their little ones to Disneyland.
