Today

2110 Blenheim, 1728 East 2nd, 1575 West 15th and 3272 West 5th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1575 West 15th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2533 Kitchener (2013) and 2825 West 30th (1986) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 716 East 6th, 848 East 7th, 1212 East 8th, 537 West 13th and 2116 West 3rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
