NORTH SHORE HERITAGE By Dorothy Foster The school was built in 1914- 1915 and the house was constructed in 1915 as well. . Unlike many of the homes around it, this home was originally built as a store. Unusual! also is its location in the middle of the 200 block West Keith Road, a residential block, rather than at a corner loca- tion, It was built by T. Hutchinson and it was enlarged and converted to a residence from 1921 to 1925. Comer stores, as they are called, were prevalent in every neighbor- hood. Many had been orginally con- structed as a storefront below, with living accommodation above. Things are changing and unfortu- nately the corner stores are slowly disappearing from many of the old neighborhoods of our childhood, to be replaced by more modern, glitzy, open-all-night convenience stores. dag a e's Yeahs Tk) as B08 Graphic Dorothy Foster Rd. in North Vancouver, was JEWS photo Paul McGrath INTRICATE DETAILS on the frent of this heritage building add to its character. la the same way as heritage homes and buildings, the corner " stores add character and identity to our community, and should not all disappear. “TERRA COTTA FLOOR oe TILES HAND-PAINTED Watt.
