Today

233 Abbott, 1091 Broughton, 7962 Laburnum, 1348 Robson and 2278 West 34th still have their buildings from before 1946, 233 Abbott on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 620 East 18th (1979), 2216 Grant (1963) and 1689 West 29th (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1051 Beach, 475 Bute, 1407 Granville, 1643 Haro, 1005 Kingsway, 3149 Main, 8950 Shaughnessy and 243 West 8th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
