This is a great post and potent insight into Vancouver's less than perfect history. Interested people might like to look into the history of North Van's Edgemont Village. Back in Vancouver, one might want to learn about Ernie King and the Harlem Nocturne, just one of Ernie's many creations and contributions. People like Harry and Valerie Jerome, and Ernie King built lives for themselves and their families, and provided inspiration for others... with less than zero encouragement from the rest of us. They are real heros. http://www.jazzstreetvancouver.ca/artists/64 Thx for this Eve. This is a great post and potent insight into Vancouver’s less than perfect history.

Have you read his book Living Spaces – it’s been a while so I don’t remember if it had autobiographical information that would help you but it may, and it’s in the library. Do you live in Vancouver?

Located at Hastings and Main, the 1908 theatre was left to rot for years, and finally torn down in December, its 750,000 unique orange bricks sold to a developer in Annacis Island and broken bits going to roadfill. Owned by Alexander Pantages, the Vancouver theatre was the second oldest in a chain of about 30 vaudeville theatres across North America. Alexander (actually his name was Pericles, but he called himself after Alexander the Great) settled in Seattle in 1902, but a huge clan of his relatives lived in Vancouver. Alexander’s nephew Peter, made his own stamp in town, founding the Peter Pan Café on Granville Street and the annual Polar Bear Swim.  [...] [...] Heritage Vancouver called the destruction of the Pantages Theatre one of “demolition by neglect and by indecision” and a huge needless loss to the heritage of our city.

Just came across your posting while doing some research on the Trend House Program. The London, Ontario house at 544 Fanshawe Park Rd. is still standing but an addition was added at some point which takes away from the lines of the house. I believe the Halifax house is also still standing.
