Today

4486 Dumfries, 1943 Parker and 1993 West 12th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1993 West 12th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2764 Grant (1986), 2474 Point Grey Road (1989), 3054 West 42nd (1968) and 2022 West 46th (2010) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1925 West 52nd, 535 West Broadway, 829 West Pender and 1025 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
