There's quite a roster....one current on-and-off guest of note is Jane Siberry, which uses it as a domicile although she now officially is NFA (no fixed address); this was featured on a CBC Sunday documentary on her life-choice to abandon most of her possessions and ownership of housing. There were notable literary guests in the '40s and '50s, or I suppose these may have been residents during the apartment period.....I'm uncertain about this but I think one guest of note, somewhere in there, was Yvonne de Carlo.
Don't know where else to put this, but in the '760s the old Anglesea Lodge was torn down; it was on the other side of Beach Avenue maybe another block towards Stanley Park from the Sylvia. There used to be a number of these - built on piers over the beach, I guess they must have been, or on jetties of some kind, including one or two down towards Sunset Beach; the Anglesea was the very last. I've seen the occasional pic in the VPL Photo Archives, but only in their books of photo prints at the main library, not in the online collection. List of residential hotels in Vancouver's West End strikes me as a potential idea, though much research is needed; the Queen Charlotte and the Buchan come to mind immediately, but there were others, including the Sylvia and the Anglesea and their other sisters along English Bay.....Skookum1 (talk) 14:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
