Today

1229 East 22nd, 835 East 24th, 1240 East 24th, 2037 East 7th, 4824 Lanark and 2876 West 15th still have their buildings from before 1946; 431 East 51st (1994), 6450 Lanark (2012), 2780 Napier (2013), 55 West 13th (2002) and 3269 West 49th (1971) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3922 Fraser, 1146 Pendrell, 3970 West 11th, 1948 West 4th and 31 West Hastings, 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.
