Today

5950 Alma, 1605 Cotton Drive, 825 Granville, 1060 Granville, 2570 Spruce and 850 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 1060 Granville and 850 West Hastings on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 392 East 46th (1988) and 835 West 23rd (1994) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6212 Churchill, 1531 Davie, 176 East 39th, 1138 Nelson, 1737 Powell, 3544 West 21st, 2506 West 6th and 1652 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
