The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists W Stewart at 1045 Haro Street.

The 1940 name section lists James Stewart at 1159 Haro Street, an elevator operator for Davis Chambers. The 1940 name section lists Mona Stewart at 1175 Haro Street.

Today
1045 Haro (1980) and 1175 Haro (1967) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1159 Haro, so that building is probably gone (inferred); for 1185 Haro, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.

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.
