The lines for 601 Denman Street in the 1940 directory, as we read them, with its abbreviations; each opens its page at the Vancouver Public Library. The name section prints h for a householder and r for someone who lives at the address. *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark, printed from 1935).

The house today

Not one of the four addresses the 1940 directory lists on the 600 block of Denman Street is on the City's list today, so the building at 601 is probably gone (inferred).

The 600 block in 1940

Denman Street between West Georgia and Alberni Streets, West End: every door the 1940 directory lists on the block, the way it prints them, and what stands at each today. This house is marked in red.
