The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists A Culos at 758 East Georgia 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 Antonio Culos there as the householder, a waiter at the Dodson Hotel. In 1940 the directory lists P Culos at 748 Union Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Pietro Culos there as the householder, with Marino Culos, a waiter at the Strand Hotel.
Today
758 East Georgia and 748 Union still have their buildings from before 1946, 758 East Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register.

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.
