827 East Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC.
Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place:
The Hendrix House is a gable-roofed two-storey structure, part of a row of gabled small houses located mid-block on the north side of the 800 block East Georgia Street, in the Strathcona neighbourhood of Vancouver.
Heritage Value:
The Hendrix House, built in 1905, has primarily historic, social and cultural significance, particularly its association over its long history with immigrant populations. From 1938 to 1952 it was the residence of Nora Hendrix, grandmother of Jimi Hendrix, American guitarist of cultural importance in the 1960s. She was a former vaudevillian and a founder of the Fountain Chapel at 823 Jackson Avenue, which was a focal point of black cultural activity in Strathcona.
Nora Hendrix is one of the many residents that, together, form a record of Strathcona’s role as the entry into Vancouver for working class immigrant groups. Initially, this was made up of British immigrants, followed by East European Jews, Ukrainians, Russians, Portugese, African-Americans, Italians, and, later still, the Chinese and Vietnamese. In more recent times this has expanded to include refugees from Africa, Central America, and the Middle East.
The Hendrix House is also a good example of the neighbourhood’s modest workers’ housing, built at the turn of the twentieth century for the working class and lower middle class. It features a bay window set behind a full width front porch, and decorative shingling in the gable end. Its simple gable-roofed form and restrained wood detailing are typical for inexpensive housing of this period. The streetscape formed by the house and its gabled neighbours is one of the stronger assemblies in the neighbourhood, with each showing adaptations reflecting long histories with many owners. Its garage, once a workshop, is an example of the variety of buildings constructed over the last century to accommodate the working life.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix - the greatest electric guitarist of all time! He was born on Nov. 27, 1942 as Johnny Allen Hendrix and died on Sept. 18, 1970.
It is interesting to see that only very few of the younger visitors at Madame Tussauds know him.
This photographic mosaic caught my eye. A street vendor was selling it and I was amazed by the work. This consists of many different photos taken throughout the city. I took a snapshot and made it into a variation of digital art for the purpose of sharing. I didn't get the name of the artist and certainlhy don't mean to infringe on anyone else's work.

I made a poster of some of my favourite Hendrix songs. My favourite (probably) being "All Along the Watchtower), which is a Bob Dylan cover. The guitar playing on it is beautiful.

and the clowns have all gone to bed.
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dressed in red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping.
Somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind, it cries Mary.
The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow.
And shine their emptiness down on my bed.
The tiny island sags downstream
'cause the life that lived is, is dead.
And the wind screams Mary.
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with it's crutch, it's old age and it's wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last.
And The Wind Cries Mary.
