BO-52-331 : Pattison’s Estate

Mark

 

This is an image of North Vancouver which was labelled “Pattison’s Estate” from July 8, 1952. It shows a large estate near what is now 1st Street East and St. Davids Avenue. The entire area has now been converted to houses.

Could this estate somehow be linked to Jim Pattison? If anyone knows, please post information in the comments.

    I lived at 433 East 2nd from 1958 – 1968 (at about 11 o’clock in the picture there is a group of houses and ours was the middle one of the 3 (laundry line). When we moved in all the area that is bush in the picture was houses and where the Pattison property was they were all new houses. They have now all gone and replaced with condos and townhouses. 433 and house on each side are still standing and have been renovated and will be there for who knows how long. All three would have been built by the same contractor.

    I worked at Courtesy Auto when i was 17 Jim was a car salesman whom i detailed vehicles for after school and sats, That was 1954. Jim would have been around 22 maybe 23 at that time. His family to the best of my knowledge did not have that much.

    The bus depot can be seen at the top of the picture, situated between St. David’s and Ridgeway on 3rd Street.

    There is certainly no connection to Jim Pattison, who was born in Saskatchewan and grew up in East Vancouver. Based on the location and a number of what appear to be derelict buildings on the estate, it appears that there may have been some connection to the Moodyville Sawmill, which was originally located on the foreshore very close to the estate in the picture. It would be interesting to see the photos immediately to the west and east to confirm this hypothesis.
