Today
1447 Barclay, 250 East 13th, 250 East 15th, 2083 East 23rd, 344 East Hastings, 561 East Hastings, 112 East King Edward, 4025 Granville, 318 Homer and 7557 Osler still have their buildings from before 1946, 1447 Barclay on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 6666 Butler (1972), 6329 Chester (2014), 2372 East 38th (1981), 320 East 55th (1993), 2233 East 6th (2017), 4547 Gladstone (1987), 1175 Haro (1967), 3022 Kitchener (2011), 1230 Nelson (1969), 2568 Wallace Crescent (2015), 85 West 23rd (2012), 2732 West Broadway (1970), 515 West Pender (1996) and 1140 West Pender (1984) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 894 Bute, 1260 Davie, 821 East 12th, 809 East Broadway, 1349 Haro, 866 Homer, 1843 Robson, 1933 West 2nd, 2868 West 4th, 761 West 8th, 802 West Hastings and 4831 Windsor, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 8425 Granville, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.

The book of the Hornes
Every directory, as one book
The family book reads the Horne name in each Vancouver directory we hold from 1901 to 1945: everyone printed under it at every address, their work from the name sections, who lived next door, and the page behind every line, to read here or save as a PDF to print or give.
We're opening orders soon. Join the list to be first in line; we expect about $29 a family.
Another name, or a house
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.
