Today

1987 Charles, 2037 Collingwood, 34 East 12th, 4608 West 14th and 5 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 5 West Hastings on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5570 Joyce (1963) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 675 West 11th and 814 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
