Today

6475 Balaclava, 742 East Broadway, 2236 East Broadway, 1243 Thurlow, 3240 West 24th and 2425 William still have their buildings from before 1946, 6475 Balaclava and 1243 Thurlow on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 4987 Marguerite (1996), 4022 West 13th (2011) and 2426 West 2nd (1995) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2210 Arbutus, 1163 Comox, 217 East Cordova, 883 Hamilton, 1319 Harwood, 4446 Prince Edward, 1415 Robson, 1135 West 10th and 1971 West 2nd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
