I see so many parellels to my own life as I read your writings. I also worked at the Bentall Centre for a very short while and also in a place on 7th and Cambie that had associations with the new Bentall Centre. I also lived in an apartment on Barclay in 1968-69 owned by a wealthy lady who had an antique business on Granville just before the Bridge. Not sure who she was or which of the grand houses I lived in on Barclay. I think it was the now Seniors building. Wish I knew. I was on the very top floor with a skylight in the kitchen and a shared bathroom in the hall. I do not live in Vancouver now so mainly use the internet to look stuff up. If anyone has any info on the lady or the blue house on Barclay please post. As a young girl I even repaired my own buzzer to my suite. Noticed there was no longer a buzzer system on the Seniors building and it is no longer blue so is it the same house?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586814264042577004.post-46038404260378948522009-09-14T14:53:11.914-07:002009-09-14T14:53:11.914-07:00Some of those sugary gingerbread confections are a...Some of those sugary gingerbread confections are amazingly tacky (Hendry house?), I suppose impression was the entire goal. Amazing theme: West End residential magic. Thanks for posting this,<br />RodrigueUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358295493353152786noreply@blogger.com
