Today

1041 Comox, 1767 East 35th, 456 East Hastings, 4471 Harriet, 3553 Inverness and 2054 Trafalgar still have their buildings from before 1946, 1041 Comox and 2054 Trafalgar on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2975 East 29th (2010), 2608 East Georgia (2018), 3358 Findlay (1990), 4295 Sophia (1988) and 3149 West 49th (1977) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1143 Burrard, 523 Glen Drive, 1026 Seymour, 2335 West 1st and 3330 West 44th, 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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
