Today

1717 Charles, 2394 Cornwall, 125 East 24th, 1018 Granville, 2128 Macdonald and 2536 West 2nd still have their buildings from before 1946, 2394 Cornwall, 2128 Macdonald and 2536 West 2nd on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5553 Commercial (1974), 4830 Henry (2002) and 2100 West 3rd (1975) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 764 Cardero, 2219 East 34th, 1020 Nicola, 1144 Pendrell, 4625 Puget Drive, 1151 West 12th, 2183 West 41st and 2185 West 41st, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
