Today

1152 East Georgia, 1965 Graveley and 4283 John still have their buildings from before 1946; 6173 Chester (2011), 834 East 18th (1983), 2485 East 8th (1968) and 2431 Parker (1976) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 821 Bute, 2672 East 7th, 966 Hornby, 2235 Venables, 1828 West 14th and 543 West 16th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
