Today

2142 Grant, 5845 Macdonald, 2247 Parker, 6451 Prince Edward, 3771 West 23rd and 2125 West 51st still have their buildings from before 1946; 1186 East King Edward (2008), 2282 Grant (2000) and 1545 West 13th (1985) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1036 Alberni, 724 Clark Drive, 1614 Frances, 1132 Robson, 2275 West 11th, 45 West 8th, 3143 West Broadway and 3145 West Broadway, 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.
