This week there are some family pictures of the house in the 1930's added to the gallery and the heading of Big House. I'm grateful to Kim the great grandaughter of Kalanj's who lived at 851 from 1926 - 1934 for the family photos! Thanks again Kim.
While waiting for a Development Permit......
We are back to focusing on the history of the Big House and who lived there as WWI comes to an end and stability begins with the Kalanj family in 1926.
History keeps rolling out on the Big House
This week we'll look at who rented the Big House once the Mason's moved to 3rd Ave. Also you'll note the links help put the time and place into context; just a little help for the imagination!! 1917 is where we'll pause and think about the effects on Vancouver during that period and pick up next week with 1918 and the end of WWI to see who moves into our neighbour hood.
Back to the BIG HOUSE......
This week's entry takes the story of the original owners Kate and James Mason: we learn about time beyond their purchase in 1898 and move on to 1912 when James moves Terminal City Iron works to Franklin St. We learn more about the block, the links connect to life at that time and lastly where do the Mason's move? (check out BIG HOUSE)..............what happens at 851 Barnard/Union will continue to roll out.
