Today

1943 East 6th, 825 Granville, 1962 Napier, 4612 West 11th, 4669 West 11th and 83 West Pender still have their buildings from before 1946; 4554 Quebec (1985) and 1415 West Georgia (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 845 Davie, 1149 Harwood, 1339 Harwood, 5096 Inverness, 911 Nicola, 2532 Ontario, 1105 Pacific, 1136 West 37th and 849 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
