Today

6892 Angus Drive, 1311 Beach, 827 East 27th, 217 East King Edward, 1915 Haro, 5789 Hudson, 927 Main, 4142 Miller, 3504 Sophia, 234 West 15th, 1590 West 15th and 3456 West 2nd still have their buildings from before 1946, 1311 Beach, 4142 Miller and 1590 West 15th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2188 East 33rd (1980), 3175 West 34th (2019), 1639 West 65th (1965), 2476 West 6th (2005), 1627 West Broadway (1973) and 1752 William (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1248 Beach, 985 Granville, 1835 Pendrell, 2707 West 33rd and 4716 West 4th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 625 Cassiar, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
