Today

479 East 55th, 3508 East Pender, 1176 Granville, 1605 Graveley, 4520 James, 2690 West 1st and 3638 West 2nd still have their buildings from before 1946; 450 East 17th (1998), 2133 East 33rd (2002), 4140 Gladstone (2018) and 3067 West 12th (2007) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1635 Barclay, 920 Bidwell, 1206 Haro, 725 Jervis, 1336 Pendrell and 1259 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
