Today

156 East 8th, 3480 Point Grey Road and 412 Union still have their buildings from before 1946, 156 East 8th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 4188 Miller (1993), 4416 West 10th (1999), 2916 West 36th (1980) and 4485 West 6th (2010) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 457 West 7th and 1547 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
