Today

825 Granville and 998 Thurlow still have their buildings from before 1946; 1126 West 11th (1992) and 447 West 23rd (2013) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 8069 Cartier, 1772 Haro, 2749 Oak, 1488 Venables, 875 West 10th, 1735 West 12th, 1155 West Georgia and 417 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
