Today

1429 East 11th, 1915 Haro, 1011 Richelieu and 1841 Stephens still have their buildings from before 1946, 1841 Stephens on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1869 Comox (1964), 809 East 13th (1998), 1530 West 64th (1985) and 44 West 6th (1973) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2312 Columbia, 151 East 10th, 123 Powell, 3259 West 34th, 1301 West 67th, 46 West 6th, 64 West 6th and 533 Woodland Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
