Today

701 East Broadway, 241 East Hastings, 1815 Kitchener, 2212 Larch and 961 West 21st still have their buildings from before 1946, 2212 Larch on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1918 Powell (2017), 1190 West 10th (1969) and 3540 West 40th (2011) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 536 Drake, 792 East 19th, 500 East 5th, 4675 Gothard, 1643 Haro and 1038 Pacific, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
