Today

1041 Comox, 719 East 32nd, 485 West 14th, 2415 West 14th, 3543 West 3rd and 510 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 1041 Comox on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1225 Barclay (1989), 1601 East 14th (2006), 527 East 29th (2013) and 2566 West 3rd (2004) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1188 Burrard, 894 Bute, 722 Granville, 1073 Melville, 1809 Vanness and 3229 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
