Today

1940 Arbutus, 2304 Balaclava, 453 East 10th, 1157 East Pender, 4005 Puget Drive, 3728 West 16th, 2191 West 1st and 50 West Cordova still have their buildings from before 1946, 1940 Arbutus and 1157 East Pender on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3008 West 32nd (2011) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2363 Arbutus, 1044 East 12th, 1155 Nelson and 1385 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
