Today

24 East 10th, 562 East 27th, 2036 East 27th, 2590 East Georgia, 1950 Garden Drive, 1715 Graveley, 5829 McKinnon and 3792 Point Grey Road still have their buildings from before 1946, 24 East 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 4750 Drummond Drive (2005) and 674 East 14th (1976) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1248 Davie, 2707 East 45th and 914 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
