Today

460 East 10th, 166 East 11th, 1595 East 13th, 1783 East 37th, 160 East Hastings, 456 East Hastings, 4054 Fleming, 2262 Parker, 4150 Prince Albert, 122 Water and 2940 Woodland Drive still have their buildings from before 1946, 460 East 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2679 East 46th (1988), 5612 Ormidale (2016), 1950 West 5th (2006) and 1444 West 71st (1958) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 836 Bute, 1568 Napier and 250 Vernon Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 735 Bidwell, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
