Today
3071 Clark Drive, 57 East 26th, 1777 East 2nd, 3437 Kingsway, 2305 Kitchener, 3540 West 35th and 3521 West 37th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1245 East 7th (1989) and 4489 West 12th (2007) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1040 Chilco, 814 Granville, 5750 Granville, 2541 Hemlock, 1015 Pacific and 1280 Windermere, 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 D. Want a name removed? Tell us.
