Today

6184 Carnarvon, 1058 Nelson and 3994 West 35th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1058 Nelson on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5869 Cartier (2009), 543 Granville (1995), 3490 Kingsway (1990), 2446 Point Grey Road (1983), 1575 West 59th (2009) and 1140 West Pender (1984) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1119 Chilco, 715 Robson and 1200 Salsbury Drive, 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 F. Want a name removed? Tell us.
