Today

166 East 11th, 841 East 26th, 1390 Renfrew, 1045 West 11th and 2242 West 4th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1565 East 10th (1961), 172 East King Edward (2014) and 4110 Prince Edward (2013) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3451 Commercial, 101 East Broadway, 96 Kingsway, 1633 Maple, 1422 Napier, 1522 Venables, 1593 West 3rd, 1376 West 7th and 2247 West Broadway, 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.
