Today

884 Bute, 1216 East 17th, 1877 Haro, 3363 Mayfair, 1028 Odlum Drive, 3527 West 11th, 50 West 17th and 918 West 19th still have their buildings from before 1946, 884 Bute on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2903 Wall (2012) and 1185 West 16th (1991) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2529 Birch, 710 Cambie, 1773 Davie, 1828 East 2nd, 828 East Pender, 2707 Hemlock and 571 Richards, 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.
