Today

1738 Angus Drive, 4549 Earles, 736 Granville, 4616 Ravine, 1139 Renfrew, 3758 West 33rd, 1529 West 36th and 6694 Yew still have their buildings from before 1946; 278 East 45th (2012), 1585 East 4th (1974), 2655 East Pender (1978), 3275 West 21st (1996) and 4378 West 8th (1967) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1890 Comox, 5818 Culloden, 522 Richards, 338 West Pender and 809 Woodland Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under A. Want a name removed? Tell us.
