The Chews

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs K A Chew at 5988 Churchill Street; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Kathleen A Chew there as the householder, widow of J V.

Today

504 East Hastings, 251 East Pender, 253 East Pender and 660 Jackson still have their buildings from before 1946, 660 Jackson on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5988 Churchill (2012) and 246 Keefer (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 261 East Georgia, 35 East Pender, 296 Keefer, 359 Keefer, 417 Keefer and 207 Union, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
