Today
177 East Hastings, 341 East Hastings, 344 East Hastings, 504 East Hastings, 635 East Hastings and 1168 East Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 341 East Hastings on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 454 East Hastings, 858 East Hastings and 1907 East Hastings, 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 C. Want a name removed? Tell us.
