Today

1139 East Hastings, 4097 Fraser, 1125 Granville and 716 Smithe still have their buildings from before 1946; 5553 Argyle (2013), 2526 Eton (2017) and 2839 West Broadway (1972) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2457 Adanac, 1136 Clark Drive, 767 East Georgia and 1809 Vanness, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
