The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists C Roy Scott at 52 West 11th Avenue, a driver at the Terminal Sheet Metal Works. A G Scott is listed at 1275 West 11th Avenue in 1940.

Today

52 West 11th, 1385 West 11th and 3176 West 11th still have their buildings from before 1946, 52 West 11th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1290 West 11th (1959) and 3978 West 11th (2000) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1275 West 11th, 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 S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
