Today

1645 East 14th, 111 East 27th, 928 East 28th, 1615 Trafalgar, 2760 Triumph, 1425 West 10th, 133 West 11th, 2704 West 12th, 3550 West 19th, 3625 West 38th and 119 West Pender still have their buildings from before 1946, 133 West 11th and 2704 West 12th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3436 West 19th (1973), 3936 West 22nd (2018), 3175 West 33rd (1989) and 5273 Windsor (1972) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 445 Abbott, 6908 Adera, 475 Bute, 3384 Eton, 7982 Granville, 5834 Inverness, 4295 Main, 1837 Morton, 1257 Park Drive, 1898 Robson, 415 West 10th, 1319 West 11th and 344 West 14th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 3529 Arbutus, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
