Today

477 East 10th, 3524 Quebec, 509 Richards, 37 West 11th and 3540 West 5th still have their buildings from before 1946, 509 Richards and 3540 West 5th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2212 Oxford (1995) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 724 East 15th, 831 Helmcken and 1925 West 8th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
