Today

6145 Ontario still has its building from before 1946, dated 1927 by the City's record; 1206 East 11th (1986) and 119 East Cordova (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3028 Commercial Drive, 828 East Pender, 1266 Frances, 612 Homer, 1232 Napier, 2375 West 7th and 3026 Woodland Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 378 East 6th, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
