Many of the houses on this street are from the 1950s when this area of Vancouver ("Hastings") was subdivided into lots. The yellow house in front of you was built in 1950, as were the houses on each end of the block, they were amongst the first on the street.
According to the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, this style of house is called a "Mid-Century Builder" and is known for characteristics like a asphalt roofing, a hipped roof, front stairs, and a picture window. "The Mid-Century Builder emerged after WWII to provide inexpensive housing for returning soldiers and their families. These homes are common in suburban areas but can be found anywhere. As communities sprawled in the 1950s and 1960s, housing had to be built fast to accommodate them. Function rather than style was its defining feature. Simple forms and inexpensive materials characterized the style. Sometimes this style was called the ‘Strawberry box’ due to the similarity of its square foundation with the boxes used to hold strawberries. In Vancouver, the Mid-Century Builder is seen in many neighbourhoods of the city." (Vancouver Heritage Foundation).
