The addresses are in Downtown (2), Mount Pleasant and West End. 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

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists George Tudor at 1706 Alberni Street. T A Tudor is listed at 574 East Broadway in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Thomas A Tudor there as the householder. The 1940 name section lists House Tudor at 736 Granville Street, in printers.

In 1940 the directory lists Miss E Tudor, in knit goods, at 851 Howe Street.

Today

574 East Broadway and 736 Granville still have their buildings from before 1946, 574 East Broadway on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 1706 Alberni and 851 Howe, 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 T. Want a name removed? Tell us.
