Today

1236 East 23rd, 4095 Inverness, 2527 McGill, 4269 Victoria Drive, 4304 West 12th, 1386 West 13th, 4018 West 16th, 3782 West 20th and 3771 West 38th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1319 Maple (1986), 4047 West 33rd (1966) and 1687 West Broadway (1953) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 629 Cambie, 632 East 5th, 809 Helmcken, 1251 Laurier, 4044 West 18th and 802 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
