Today
1804 Cotton Drive, 1637 East 14th, 442 East 24th, 2824 Grant, 234 West 13th, 1530 West 13th, 1804 West 13th and 3464 West 27th still have their buildings from before 1946; 2078 East 8th (1982), 3383 West 27th (2012) and 2565 West 8th (1992) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3258 East 43rd, 2086 East 60th, 3874 West 12th, 1806 West 13th and 2073 West 1st, 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 W. Want a name removed? Tell us.
