Today

2653 Commercial Drive, 333 East 41st and 2734 Trinity still have their buildings from before 1946; 1940 Barclay (1993), 1949 Barclay (1963), 962 East 21st (1994), 2245 Rupert (1967), 3391 West 28th (1993) and 2057 West 3rd (1985) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2195 Cambridge, 980 Denman, 999 Denman, 8115 Granville, 1103 Pacific, 1601 Robson and 306 Vernon Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
