Today

1722 East 5th, 2835 West 11th, 1530 West 13th, 4177 West 13th and 4534 West 1st still have their buildings from before 1946; 541 East 28th (1964), 969 Jervis (1980) and 5567 Sherbrooke (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1185 Broughton, 828 Granville, 2951 Kitchener, 1497 West 7th and 934 West Broadway, 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 K. Want a name removed? Tell us.
