Server instructions

Vancouver house histories read from the city directories (1905–1955): who lived at an address each directory year, when the house was built and what stood there in 1912. Use find_house to get a house's path, then house_history. Only covered addresses answer; never present a nearby house as the one asked about. Names through 1945 only. Link users to the url in each answer and each listing's page.
