Today

634 East Georgia still has its building from before 1946, dated 1905 by the City's record and on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3765 Beatrice (2006), 1792 East 37th (1976), 4740 Henry (2017), 822 Seymour (2005) and 4247 West 15th (2020) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 431 East Georgia, 1253 Franklin and 1155 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
