Today

1944 East 12th, 1212 Granville, 935 Jervis, 1058 Nelson, 2731 West 35th, 2849 West 42nd and 6474 Windsor still have their buildings from before 1946, 1058 Nelson on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 4350 Blenheim (2005), 2530 East Georgia (1947), 2973 West 40th (2006) and 1100 West 7th (1986) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2050 Barclay, 5854 Dumfries, 982 East Pender, 5890 Granville, 230 McLean Drive and 1392 West 73rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
