Today

1523 East 10th, 6584 Ross, 3645 Rupert and 2603 Triumph still have their buildings from before 1946; 2689 Triumph (1989) and 1838 West 58th (2011) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 501 Robson and 811 Thurlow, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
