A family name on Barclay Street, West End
The McCallums
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named McCallum at two addresses in 1940, all on Barclay Street, with the close spelling MacCallum. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 46 other streets too, all listed on the McCallum name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists H A McCallum at 1260 Barclay Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Hector A McCallum there as the householder, a musician. The 1940 name section lists William C McCallum at 1949 Barclay Street.
Today
1949 Barclay (1963) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1260 Barclay, so that building is 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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
