The bottom picture looks like Lord Tennyson Elementary School at 1936 West 10th in Kits before the cornices were removed and covered over. You can still see the two story front arch entranceway with supporting columns.
ReplyDeleteRob, Thanks for that. I will take a drive by an see. If you do Twitter, i will be posting updates to my blog and stuff on my walking tours on "househistorybc"
ReplyDeleteIt also looks like Lord Roberts on Bidwell in the West End -- sans a bunch of trees
ReplyDeleteSchools? They look more like prisons don't they. What grand old buildings.
ReplyDeletethe picture on the bottom looks different from the 2 in the middle... look at the door way the arch is different from the other 2.
ReplyDeleteThe two schools in the middle are Gilmore Avenue School in Burnaby Heights. Built in 1913 the photos show the new north wing which opened c. 1927.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim! I will pass on the information to the City of Vancouver Archives.
