Today

616 Princess still has its building from before 1946, dated 1905 by the City's record and on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 121 Heatley (1971) and 1158 Powell (1953) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1441 Commercial Drive, 168 East 2nd, 513 East Cordova, 733 East Cordova, 318 Heatley, 539 Powell, 4359 West 10th, 130 West 4th, 320 West 5th, 678 West 7th and 3302 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
