Today

1041 Comox, 1128 East 23rd, 1075 Gilford, 3433 West 12th, 1080 West 33rd and 1628 West 49th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1041 Comox on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2811 East 14th (1993) and 3417 East 23rd (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 314 Cambie, 949 Jervis, 889 Seymour and 1103 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
