Today

2416 Vine still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; 2467 East 28th (1969), 1249 East 8th (1987), 4273 Quebec (2002), 3378 West 40th (1987) and 848 West 59th (1965) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 765 Cambie, 2920 East 28th, 1644 East 4th, 1362 Howe, 3232 Laurel, 1890 West 2nd, 3339 West 41st, 3542 West 41st and 618 West Cordova, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 1290 Hornby, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
