Today

4320 Collingwood, 1767 East 12th, 175 East Broadway, 3260 East Pender, 2414 Granville, 3267 West 10th and 4065 West 12th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1082 East 40th (1998), 1080 Maple (1985), 1827 West 3rd (1977), 102 West 40th (2010) and 1619 West 65th (1989) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 873 Cambie, 4977 Chatham, 1304 East 28th, 1874 West 16th and 1832 West 3rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
