Today

1742 Alma, 1795 East 49th, 1918 Graveley, 434 Main, 2022 Ontario and 4333 Quebec still have their buildings from before 1946, 1742 Alma on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 1006 Granville, 1841 West 5th and 1107 West 70th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
