Today

3449 Arbutus, 2230 Cornwall, 2386 East 45th, 1221 Granville, 318 Homer, 412 Union, 3858 West 16th and 3192 West 8th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3307 Dunbar (1976), 4590 West 13th (2009), 757 West 18th (1981) and 3851 West 24th (2013) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1363 Alberni, 762 Homer, 556 West 6th and 1107 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
