Today

5 East 10th, 3557 East Pender, 3658 Turner, 2525 West 10th and 2218 Yew still have their buildings from before 1946, 5 East 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1747 East 8th (1993) and 5829 Hudson (2020) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 922 Hornby, 296 Keefer, 1130 Pacific and 2133 West 5th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
