Today

2792 Cambridge, 948 East 21st, 2466 West 12th and 3959 West 34th still have their buildings from before 1946; 546 East 20th (2004), 2941 East 2nd (1973), 3257 East 44th (2017), 2727 Triumph (1993) and 3350 West 40th (2012) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 530 East 8th, 876 East 8th, 1002 East Georgia, 804 Homer, 4350 Marguerite, 846 West 13th and 1473 West 7th, 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.
