Description

151 West Cordova Street has changed ownership frequently. The first listing of this address in a city directory was in 1911, when Hugh Wells resided there and worked at a lunch counter. The following year, 151 West Cordova is listed as the Eisner and Quinn Restaurant, in 1914 as the T & H Cafe, and in 1916 as Humphrey’s Cafe.

The Cordova Second Hand store took over in the 1930s, reflective of the changing economy.

151 West Cordova Street currently houses one of the Vancouver Film School’s campuses.
