Old photos of Vancouver

This picture was taken on Granville Street in 1921.  Note the cars are driving on the left side of the road.  On January 1, 1922, Vancouver changed to driving on the right side.  You can also see tracks and it appears there are rail/trolley cars in the distance.
Granville and Pender.  I have no idea what year but the trolley is clearly visible.

Vancouver Post Office 1937 located at Granville and Hastings
