Today

6876 Laburnum, 2110 Venables and 916 Victoria Drive still have their buildings from before 1946; 1790 Charles (2020), 904 West 20th (2011) and 935 West 23rd (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1216 Alberni, 1056 Comox, 1032 East Hastings, 1336 Granville, 1156 Harwood, 504 Kingsway, 1049 Nelson, 1724 Pendrell, 4063 Victoria Drive, 1771 West 4th and 144 West Hastings, 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.
