Where the Mulhollands lived

The story, address by address

Today

501 East 10th, 66 East 54th, 2339 Main, 1615 Trafalgar, 1395 West 13th and 3431 West 27th still have their buildings from before 1946; 596 East 51st (1975), 2975 Oak (2016) and 3181 West 2nd (2005) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 762 Hamilton, 678 Howe, 1675 Robson and 5392 Victoria Drive, 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.
