Today
2718 Alberta, 717 East 11th, 1036 East 11th, 1764 East 11th, 1675 East 14th, 2780 Kitchener and 2904 Manitoba still have their buildings from before 1946, 1764 East 11th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 542 East 11th (1967), 1803 East 14th (2008), 2768 Horley (1991), 2786 Kitchener (1964) and 3176 West 12th (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6050 Balsam, 1900 Barclay, 1223 Bidwell, 361 East 41st, 1322 East 41st, 2625 East 57th, 8708 Hudson, 4522 Main, 1529 Nelson, 766 Richards, 4512 Rupert, 1864 West 3rd and 1986 West 3rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

The book of the Chappells
Every directory, as one book

We're opening orders soon. Join the list to be first in line; we expect about $29 a family.

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.
