Today
884 Bute, 249 East 24th, 76 East 27th, 318 Homer, 6642 Laburnum, 3889 West 11th, 2611 West 12th, 1390 West 14th and 681 West 24th still have their buildings from before 1946, 884 Bute and 1390 West 14th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5274 Chambers (1964), 6021 Holland (1992), 2983 West 41st (1977) and 2189 West 47th (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1706 Alberni, 958 Broughton, 2327 West 49th and 2331 West 4th, 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.
