Today
2032 Charles, 2520 East 24th, 4328 Rupert and 3180 Wellington still have their buildings from before 1946; 4478 Dumfries (1993), 1481 East 4th (1990), 1846 Nanaimo (1986), 3869 West 15th (2011), 2677 West 34th (1989) and 2598 West 36th (2000) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6440 Beatrice, 1200 Bidwell, 1056 Comox, 5393 Dunbar, 2358 Franklin, 1629 Parker and 3166 Wellington, 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 B. Want a name removed? Tell us.
