Today

2215 Charles, 575 East Pender, 1261 Granville, 1896 West 14th and 1574 West 64th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1251 Cardero (1965), 1345 Comox (1983), 2072 East 37th (1979), 70 East 45th (2015), 5736 Highbury (2010), 5863 Vine (1958), 4436 West 11th (1983) and 2837 West 43rd (2014) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 8090 Cartier, 744 East 33rd, 1042 Haro, 877 Richards, 1950 Turner and 42 West 13th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
