Today

175 East Broadway, 2427 Granville, 1628 Kitchener, 2116 Macdonald, 1609 Nelson, 1507 West 12th and 4168 West 12th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1609 Nelson on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 985 East 50th (1989) and 4409 Osler (2005) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1335 Comox, 66 East 11th, 1116 Seymour, 1972 West 1st, 155 West Broadway and 1167 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
