Vancouver Now & Then: Laundry day in West Point Grey, 1956

There have been lots of changes on West 10th Avenue over the years...

This is the rear of what was previously the Point Grey Pharmacy, at 10th and Trimble.

There are a number of papered-over windows on 10th Ave., which leads me to wonder how much longer this building will last.

The pharmacy is now a couple of blocks west at 4516 W 10th Ave.
