Today

3528 Point Grey Road, 4539 Walden and 3617 West 12th still have their buildings from before 1946; 542 East 52nd (1997) and 1124 Robson (2002) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 966 Burrard, 217 East Cordova, 1111 Nelson, 1749 Nelson, 741 Thurlow and 2355 West 5th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
