Today

2053 East 1st, 1929 East 5th, 1915 Haro, 1836 Parker, 1305 West 15th and 3873 West King Edward still have their buildings from before 1946; 995 Bute (2006) and 2606 West 1st (2018) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1836 Alberni, 2020 Barclay, 119 East 10th, 1595 East 4th, 1023 Harwood, 725 Jervis, 5914 Larch, 75 Renfrew, 1882 Renfrew, 520 Richards, 1090 West 64th and 112 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
