Today

3014 Kitchener and 2543 Pandora still have their buildings from before 1946, 2543 Pandora on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2440 Dundas (1963), 6125 Vine (1987) and 3150 West 27th (2003) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1322 East 41st, 75 East 7th, 3371 Findlay, 1003 Laurier, 86 North Nanaimo, 1035 Richards and 2428 Yukon, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

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 K. Want a name removed? Tell us.
