Today

1751 East 4th, 1877 Haro and 2065 William still have their buildings from before 1946; 5612 Ormidale (2016), 5368 Ross (2003) and 231 West 23rd (2015) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1205 Bute, 918 Keefer, 1840 Robson and 1885 West 12th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
