Today

6426 Dunbar and 2164 Dundas still have their buildings from before 1946; 7233 Fraser (1997), 3239 West 37th (2006) and 3539 West 40th (1981) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2821 Main, 1317 West 7th, 1108 West Pender and 1607 Yew, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
