Today

3183 Adanac, 42 East Cordova, 726 East King Edward, 5012 Granville, 514 Homer, 6369 Macdonald, 1462 Minto Crescent, 955 Thurlow and 1549 West 59th still have their buildings from before 1946; 6848 Ross (1963) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1134 Barclay, 125 East 2nd, 2020 Larch, 126 Powell, 948 West 13th and 4041 West 34th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
