Today
2413 Collingwood, 199 East 17th, 2592 Pandora, 1243 Thurlow, 1255 West 10th, 4023 West 18th, 2997 West 33rd and 2626 West 35th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1243 Thurlow on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3463 West 36th (2011), 2355 West 45th (1991) and 3337 William (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4190 Balaclava, 710 Davie and 1839 Frances, 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 H. Want a name removed? Tell us.
