7. The 2400 Block Bellevue Move east along Bellevue to 24 Street, looking at the houses as you go. All of the lots to the south had buildings on them prior to 1920. But it is important to remember that the buildings that stand now are not necessarily the original houses. Early West Vancouver was, to some extent, a summer resort, and many of the early houses were "summer”" houses. In 1922, for ex- ample^ the winter population of Dundarave was 300; the summer population was 1,000. To the Vancouver family. West Vancouver offered no climatic advantages, but it did offer proximity to the pleasures of beach and mountain. And although it was satisfactorily close, it .was, transportation being as it was, satisfactorily remote. Perhaps during the summers, the attraction of the village atmosphere persuaded more and more to stay permanently. The houses on the north side of Bellevue came later. The future may see all the houses on both sides dis- appear, those on the north to business office expansion, and those to the south to a larger Dundarave Park. 8. The Seawalk at 24 Street Having reached 24 Street, turn south (right) and move to the western end of the Sea V/alk. Pacing south to- wards the ocean, you will have on your right what was once the home of I«Ir. and Mrs. Grady, built in 1920. Mrs. Grady rented rooms to boarders, and on occasion rented out the large front room for social events. On your left is the Sea Strand apartment building, the most westerly of the area zoned for apartments. If the Planning Commission has its way, it will remain so. From this location, you can look west tovrards Dundarave Pier with a partial view of the houses along the shore. Eventually, it is planned to extend the Sea V/alk to the pier, and you can see the problem that exists. A walk above and to the right of the present sea wall would be much too close to the houses; a walk slightly lower and to the left would involve a massive and expensive rock fill. A solution wou.ld be to buy up the properties, extend the Park to 24 Street, and put the walk along the edge of the sea wall. 9. The 2300 Block Bellevue. 2400 Bellevue was completely developed on the south side by 1920: 2300 Bellevue had only four houses before 1919; 12 more added before 1929; and in 1939 still had 7 open lots. As a result it has an interesting mixture of styles including some modern houses put up in the late 1970’s. Some of the earlier houses have been extensively and attractively remodelled.
