Today

1111 Broughton, 4995 Ross, 3335 Sophia, 2646 Trinity and 2705 West 23rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 7356 Duff (2003), 3015 East 6th (1977), 2539 Kitchener (2013), 2686 West 14th (2013) and 2639 West 7th (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1250 Bidwell, 2102 East 57th, 1500 East Hastings, 434 Homer, 771 Homer, 712 Slocan, 148 West 5th and 47 West Hastings, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
