“GrandView, the recognized coming district of the city … It has the tramline, and unsurpassed view of the entire city harbor and False Creek. High above the fogs it gets all the sunshine in winter time.“ [23 Jan 1905]
“A greater demand than ever has sprung up for their choice section of the city. Why? Every word we told you was so. It is high and dry; it is on the hill; it overlooks the city. Improved car service; new school; water mains, streets graded and opened; also sidewalk being laid.” [18 Sept 1905]
“Every buyer here is making money. There is a quick turnover, values steadily rising and development is rapidly taking place. Good car service, new water mains. A splendid $10,000 school building just completed and the city is rapidly pushing forward the street work in this section.” [12 Oct 1905]
