Today

1306 Bidwell, 1235 East 28th, 1315 West 15th and 1490 West Broadway still have their buildings from before 1946, 1306 Bidwell on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2802 Grant (2004), 3970 West 19th (1996) and 3176 West 31st (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1264 Alberni, 936 Drake, 295 West 12th, 1325 West 12th and 1335 West 13th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
