The housing stock in the Dunbar area of Vancouver has undergone significant change in the past five years. Originally a working class neighbourhood with many quite modest homes surrounded by lovely gardens, it is now a neighbourhood that 99% of the people working in Vancouver cannot afford because the replacement homes are built to the maximum footprint and cost millions. Greenspace has been reduced. Included on this website are photos of many (not all) of the disappeared houses.

No Longer There on West 22nd and 23rd Avenue

 
3405 W. 22nd Avenue, built in 1926, torn down January 2012




3548 W. 22nd Avenue, built in 1929, torn down in 2012


3859 W. 23rd Avenue, torn down in the summer of 2011
Of the four in this blog entry, this one has lost the most character, although it is neatly maintained.  3814 W. 23rd Avenue, torn down May or June 2011, replaced by a new house + laneway house
