🟢find_house(query)
Look up a Vancouver address, or a resident's surname from 1945 or earlier, in AddressLore's coverage. Returns the matching house's path for house_history, or says plainly that the address isn't covered (never a nearby house in its place), with the covered streets.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "An address (\"526 Keefer Street\") or a surname (\"Clandenning\")."
}
},
"required": [
"query"
]
}🟢house_history(address)
When a covered Vancouver house was built and what stood there: the building permit (1901–1930) and the City's year built, what the 1912 fire insurance map draws on the lot and whether today's building is very likely that one, what stands today, and who lived there in each directory year with each listing's source page. Residents' names through 1945 only; later years show a household and job without names. Anything inferred is marked inferred.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"address": {
"type": "string",

}
