Today

990 Bute, 2006 Whyte and 2668 William still have their buildings from before 1946, 2006 Whyte on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2141 Charles (1998), 1674 Davie (1989), 1150 Nelson (1974) and 3781 West King Edward (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 510 East 22nd, 1640 East 5th, 1774 Pendrell, 3144 Renfrew, 882 Richards and 6714 Ross, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
