Today

2115 Macdonald, 1436 Pendrell and 2856 Wall still have their buildings from before 1946, 1436 Pendrell on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2880 Eton (1974) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2142 East 46th, 1146 West 11th and 1520 West 36th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
