Today

4975 Ross still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; 3111 Adanac (2016) and 1160 Broughton (1969) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 117 East 3rd, 1110 Nelson, 1722 Nelson, 1148 Thurlow, 2210 Vine, 3598 West 4th and 1025 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
