Today

1976 Adanac, 203 East 6th, 175 East Broadway, 3316 East Georgia, 2248 Graveley and 648 West 18th still have their buildings from before 1946; 6263 Arlington (1988), 4830 Gladstone (1968), 1405 West 12th (1992) and 3238 Woodland Drive (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 337 Dunsmuir, 753 East Broadway, 1534 East Georgia, 1148 Thurlow and 177 West Cordova, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
