Where the Cutlers lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

The story, address by address

Today

2316 Charles, 6348 Fraser, 1011 Lillooet and 4010 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1255 Broughton (1955), 420 East 16th (1982) and 6505 Fraser (1959) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4491 Blenheim, 20 East 44th, 1365 West 14th, 366 West 52nd, 658 West Broadway and 610 West Cordova, 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.
