Today

4662 Angus Drive, 554 Cassiar, 1794 Frances, 540 Helmcken, 3863 West 26th and 3350 West 2nd still have their buildings from before 1946, 540 Helmcken on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2549 Charles (1996), 1906 Grant (1966) and 1746 West 14th (1981) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1068 Davie, 752 Helmcken, 1302 Howe and 1639 Parker, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
