Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Strathcona (6), Downtown (5) and Mount Pleasant. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

Today

258 East Pender still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; 246 Keefer (1987) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 444 Carrall, 379 East 7th, 207 East Georgia, 562 East Georgia, 176 East Hastings, 174 East Pender, 250 East Pender, 333 Keefer, 306 West Cordova and 1025 West Pender, 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 J. Want a name removed? Tell us.
