Today

4321 Locarno Crescent, 4632 Quebec and 2912 West 14th still have their buildings from before 1946; 2224 Eton (1974), 1847 Pendrell (1957), 1010 Seymour (2009) and 4640 West 6th (1980) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1275 Barclay, 647 Bute, 845 Davie, 833 East Broadway, 960 Jervis, 3372 Knight, 126 Powell, 396 Powell, 4992 Spencer, 1148 Thurlow and 620 West 6th, 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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
