8 17. In the meantime, the grocery business, formerly operated by V/ilson and Moore was re-opened by Mrs. Freeman in smaller premises. That building was demolished to make way for the re-location of the Dundarave Pharmacy. On the corner site formerly occupied by the pharmacy a new grocery store building was erected, I.G.A. used the building until late in 1980. It is worth noting that, in the days of the Depression,/V;. p; extended credit to many of the local residents. A son remembers his father proudly paying off the last of his indebtedness in the late 1940's. The south-west corner, now the site of O.K. Tire Store, was first occupied by the real estate office of Mr. John Alexander. A picture of his office, taken in 1918, exists. When he died in the great flu epidemic of 1918, Ilr. David Morgan took over the business. He was to be reeve of V/est Vancouver during the 1920*s. On his death, Mr. Percy T^asterman took over the site, which, according to the vrater records, had no water hook- up. Mr. Masterrnan had to cross the street to use the privy. His marriage to Miss Hutchinson was the first at the time of incorporation. The bride's parents had built the first permanent home in Dundarave at 24th and Nelson, Marr Creek comes into the story again. It ran through a culvert under Karine Drive but was open through this lot up to Mr. Masterrnan's time. To get enough floor space, part of the building was hung over the stream, supported by pillars based on a concrete foLindation in the creek bed. Now of course, the stream is in a conduit from Marine Drive to the sea and has been built over both by O.K. Tire and by David Nairn and Associateo to the south. Just south of Nairns, a little store called the Green Dolnhin used to stand. Elizabeth Cross owned both the store and property on 25th Street. The North-east Corner of 25 Street and Karine Drive is now part of the parking lot of Stong's Super-market. In 1916, it was a wooded area, at the edge of which a little wooden structure had been built to serve as a bus stop. Bus service had been introduced in that year and the shelter marked the western terminus of a route along Marine Drive to the ferry slip at 14 Street. During the 1920's, the service was extended to 29 Street. There were bus stops at each corner but the first drivers would apparently stop for a passenger at mid street if hailed.
