Today

556 Powell and 1017 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1017 West 7th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2751 East Pender (2018), 330 Heatley (1972) and 1063 West 7th (1978) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 613 Powell, 1865 Powell, 450 Robson, 500 Smithe, 754 West 6th, 976 West 7th and 2016 Yukon, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
