Today

4693 Drummond Drive and 2465 West 5th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1237 Burrard (1999), 336 East 7th (1966), 1045 Haro (1980), 1246 Haro (1961) and 2385 West 45th (1991) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 549 Victoria Drive, so that building is probably gone (inferred).
