Today

6137 Churchill, 5638 Mackenzie, 7737 Main, 3869 Victoria Drive, 1945 West 13th and 2276 West 49th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1243 Burrard (1999), 447 East 6th (1968), 1332 Odlum Drive (1996) and 1601 West 4th (1968) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1143 Comox, 5874 Marguerite, 419 Smithe, 621 Victoria Drive, 3716 West 15th and 2068 West 3rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
