Today

214 Carrall, 657 East Cordova, 880 East Georgia and 6457 Fraser still have their buildings from before 1946, 657 East Cordova and 880 East Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 7938 Granville (1996) and 1060 West 8th (1973) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1771 East Hastings, 165 Powell, 1911 Powell, 241 Princess, 2016 Triumph, 1798 West 2nd and 334 West 5th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
