Description
This archival image from the Vancouver Heritage Inventory in 1985 shows the three houses, 685, 687 and 689 W 19th Ave as part of the heritage streetscape. 687 W 19th Ave is the middle house.
This two storey Craftsman style house was built in 1913. It is similar in style to 685 W. 19. The 1914 directory lists the occupant as William J Poulton, department manager at Woodwards.
Yet, there is a 1917 building permit for repairs by owner Alfred Nelson, who appears to have lived next door in 685 W 19th Ave.
