Today

5115 Chester, 842 East 26th, 518 Richards, 2001 West 15th, 1575 West 16th and 602 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 518 Richards on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3151 Point Grey Road (1988) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 367 East 8th and 408 Vernon Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
