Today

3945 Alice, 3274 East 44th, 3815 Glen Drive, 2366 Grant, 1025 Granville, 1060 Granville, 1915 Haro, 7 West 40th and 2319 West 47th still have their buildings from before 1946, 2366 Grant, 1025 Granville and 1060 Granville on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1601 West 4th (1968) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1562 Barclay, 8057 Granville, 1343 Haro, 123 Powell, 571 Richards and 1164 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
