Today

1509 Dunbar, 4836 Earles, 50 East 24th, 1245 East Pender, 4153 John, 2834 Turner, 4208 West 10th and 3408 West 34th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1635 East 4th (1975), 2663 Eton (1988) and 1022 Main (1960) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1650 East Hastings, 1518 Nelson, 1537 Pendrell and 807 West 19th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 159 East Hastings, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
