In the city directories 1940 · four people at three addresses

What they did

The name section prints a trade for three of the four: a president, a proprietor and a secretary. One is a widow, listed under her own name.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland, Shaughnessy and West Point Grey. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists V N Pattullo at 1728 East 2nd Avenue; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Victor N Pattullo there as the householder, proprietor of Clement Apartments and Miller Block. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs E Pattullo at 1249 West 32nd Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Erezena Pattullo there as the householder, widow of J B.

In 1940 the directory lists J M Pattullo at 4400 West 4th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists James M Pattullo there as the householder, a president at the Caroline Court Apartments Ltd, with Ruth J Pattullo, a secretary at Caroline Court.

Today

1728 East 2nd still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1249 West 32nd and 4400 West 4th, 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 P. Want a name removed? Tell us.
