A collection of sketches of modest houses, all 100 years old or so, marooned in downtown Vancouver

815 Drake Street

Howe Street south of Davie--the old house behind the Odyssey nightclub at 1237 Howe has only become visible because of the demolition of the buildings to the north of it. The lot has been vacant now for a few years, creating an opportunity for a billboard--to catch the eyes of motorists on busy Howe Street--which Century 21 Realty uses, featuring an ad with the slogan "Isn't It Time For the Home You Really Want?" The last few poplar trees and the last weeping willow in the downtown share the lot, too.

More to come.
