Today

404 Abbott, 975 Chilco, 784 Thurlow, 246 West 13th and 1795 West 16th still have their buildings from before 1946, 975 Chilco, 784 Thurlow and 1795 West 16th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 7935 Birch (2014) and 2350 Cornwall (1962) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 776 East 56th, 1782 Robson, 2924 West 4th, 1409 West 7th, 197 West Broadway and 2870 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
