Today

3490 Cedar Crescent, 3520 Dunbar, 1607 East 14th, 2623 West 12th, 4649 West 13th, 3890 West 26th, 3622 West 3rd, 2415 West 4th, 1339 West 7th and 4373 West 9th still have their buildings from before 1946, 3622 West 3rd and 1339 West 7th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 4309 Beatrice (2004), 290 East 51st (1953), 3086 West 11th (1987) and 2906 West 13th (2014) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2220 Arbutus, 1916 Ogden, 2162 Turner, 4347 West 12th, 2079 West 37th and 802 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
