Today

635 East Hastings, 4301 Main, 2176 West 13th, 575 West 16th, 3915 West 35th, 3139 West 3rd and 53 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 2204 East 1st, 6345 Fraser, 1070 Haro, 830 Howe, 1221 Pendrell, 6006 Vine and 1195 West Hastings, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
