Today

1780 East 2nd, 1942 Graveley, 2823 Waterloo, 1585 West 15th, 1307 West 33rd and 3125 West 33rd still have their buildings from before 1946, 1585 West 15th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1920 West 36th (1987) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6826 Arbutus, 2046 East 50th and 1857 Nelson, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
