This site is about the history of the West End in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, especially from Denman Street on the east to Stanley Park on the west. I have also included items on houses and other buildings in the area east of Denman Street.
You’ll find information about early houses and other buildings in this area, along with biographies of many people who lived here, mostly from about 1890 to 1920, along with selected biographies for later residents.
The links below lead to the various sections on this site.
