Today

5057 Cypress, 611 East 7th, 4161 John, 837 Keefer, 4850 Manor, 1101 Nicola, 134 Powell, 2515 Vine, 314 West 12th and 2837 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946, 837 Keefer, 1101 Nicola and 2837 West 6th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 930 West 21st (2019) and 2879 West 37th (1986) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1816 Alberni, 839 Davie, 946 Howe, 459 Ontario, 2695 Pandora and 1107 West 70th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 802 West 7th, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
