Mouse-Over Images to Zoom

My grandmother, Ollie Nellis (left) with an woman I do not know. Ollie and her husband, Cliff, moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver with their son Bryan in 1946, so this photo must have been taken not long after their arrival. Ollie’s dad, Bill Swystun, owned the Clifton Hotel at 1125 Granville. Ollie would work there, so I imagine she was often in the neighborhood where Foncie shot his photos.
