Today

967 East 14th, 1633 Stephens and 2268 West 45th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3454 East Georgia (2006), 4960 Slocan (1980), 1575 West 12th (1989), 2820 West 14th (2007), 3690 West 34th (1998) and 1363 West 64th (1993) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2601 Granville, 1316 West 12th and 251 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 1734 East 11th, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
