Today

561 East Hastings, 2375 West 41st and 2558 William still have their buildings from before 1946; 5074 Highgate (1989), 1445 Pendrell (1964), 8349 Shaughnessy (1987), 3389 West 42nd (2012) and 515 West Pender (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 809 Bidwell, 2066 Cornwall, 1641 Davie, 348 East 7th, 446 Keefer, 2031 Larch, 845 West 10th and 3264 West 32nd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
