Today

1929 Adanac, 2570 Hemlock, 4354 Prince Edward, 3828 West 14th, 2619 West 15th and 461 West 21st still have their buildings from before 1946; 6095 Argyle (1971), 6649 Berkeley (1993), 6651 Berkeley (1985) and 1405 West 12th (1992) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 781 Cambie, 997 Dunsmuir, 120 East 10th, 720 Kingsway, 1029 Melville, 3194 West 24th, 3171 West 27th, 1274 West Broadway, 1025 West Pender and 5915 Yew, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
