Today

925 Bute, 3438 Dundas, 456 East Hastings, 1261 Granville, 2029 Graveley, 1915 Haro, 1344 West 46th and 3264 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946, 925 Bute on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1306 Cardero (1957) and 2815 West 39th (2004) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 633 Broughton, 6942 Cypress, 1044 East 61st, 614 Homer and 828 Robson, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
