Today

1014 Cardero, 1816 Cotton Drive, 803 East 15th, 4749 Oak, 4561 Walden, 3896 West King Edward and 2921 Windsor still have their buildings from before 1946; 3661 Blenheim (1987), 105 East 15th (2008), 3081 West 29th (2018) and 3569 West 3rd (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1863 Comox, 5690 Fraser, 6707 Fraser, 8742 French, 916 Nicola, 818 West 27th and 1932 West 4th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
