Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kensington-Cedar Cottage (3), Kerrisdale (3), Riley Park (2), West End (2), Downtown, Hastings-Sunrise, Kitsilano and West Point Grey. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

Today

5837 Churchill, 957 East 16th, 2820 East 6th, 1394 Kingsway, 6642 Maple, 4233 West 12th and 396 West 21st still have their buildings from before 1946; 35 East 26th (1984), 1230 Haro (1987) and 2579 West 45th (2002) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1022 Davie, 4454 Dumfries, 1885 West 12th and 120 West Georgia, 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 E. Want a name removed? Tell us.
