Today

6216 Chester, 2218 East 38th and 2466 West Broadway still have their buildings from before 1946, 6216 Chester on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1431 East 18th (1989), 925 West 15th (1988) and 2049 West 43rd (2005) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1724 Davie, 751 Granville, 2345 Granville, 715 Robson and 1304 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
