Today

1923 East Georgia, 3042 Sophia, 859 Thurlow, 4134 West 11th, 252 West 21st and 2929 West 29th still have their buildings from before 1946, 859 Thurlow on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3752 Commercial (2006), 1145 Robson (1949), 6126 Vine (2021) and 4005 West 33rd (2004) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 330 East 2nd, 2980 Graveley, 1218 Howe, 3682 Moscrop and 518 Victoria Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
