Today

1062 East 38th and 1224 East Georgia still have their buildings from before 1946, 1224 East Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5272 Chester (1969), 2464 Point Grey Road (1958) and 3336 West 11th (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 721 East 7th and 1509 Haro, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
