I'm assuming the prefix is most likely Highland.......... 44x-6063.
My exchange while growing up in DTES used to be Mutual-1........ 681-48 something something (cannot remember that far back). Edit: remembered it..... 681-4891 (mom drilled it into me - 50+ years later and I still remember it.)
Back to the phone number on the side of the building. Since, there is no number after "High," it must be that the first three letters are the exchange (444?)
For all you Richmond folks, 27x exchange is "Brighouse"

Wow, old skool!
The central office that used to serve that community (Highland) no longer exists. It got replaced by "Alpine" located on Victoria Drive and serves a majority of East Vancouver. The moment you cross Main Street, Mutual would serve you.
Odd bit: There are two Mutuals now, both located on Seymour and Robson where Telus is.
