Today

1601 Comox, 4759 Manor and 3025 West 2nd still have their buildings from before 1946, 1601 Comox on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2788 Franklin (1975), 3757 Main (1969) and 1588 Robson (2003) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1039 Barclay, 1370 Burrard, 2284 Cornwall, 2148 Granville, 1214 Hornby, 6017 Vine, 2834 West 24th, 515 West 8th and 2235 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
