I absolutely love the detail you can see in the Vancouver Archives scans they have on there now, like this one, Dunsmuir and Richards, NE corner (1940s):
Here's the link to the original file location, and you can zoom in on the photographs: http://searcharchives.vancouver.ca/uploa...b-8f43-48e4-84b4-0a861bc1abad-A13597.jpg

Mouse to the tagged Ailsa Lodge (1020 Melvile). To the right is a red peaked roof, behind is a 9 story buiding. Name? Still standing?
The four story building with the awnings at the left rear of the Ailsa was "The Melville", N/E corner of Melville & Thurlow. In 1966 The Melville gained a few extra floors. At the right Bentall 1 is under contruction.

The detail is indeed amazing. July 2 1937. 1143 Davie is on fire. Zoom in and you can see a 'for sale' sign
wow the pic of davie and burrard is cool, pretty unfortunate whats there now. the house beside it would have made for a cool restaurant with a patio in the front which is common to see back east but I dont really see that often here.
Have you seen any looking more at Howe and Georgia? My grandfathers family business used to be on that corner until Pacific Centre bumped them in the 70s. The store was the New York Fur Co. I think it should be right beside that Norman G Cull sign.
