Today

1129 East 10th, 1020 East 12th, 2756 Eton and 2274 William still have their buildings from before 1946; 4830 Gladstone (1968), 1230 Nelson (1969), 3057 West 34th (2011) and 223 West 7th (1966) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 459 East 8th, 2908 Manitoba and 1173 West Hastings, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

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 G. Want a name removed? Tell us.
