Today

5195 Aberdeen, 745 Prior, 2676 Waterloo and 4028 West 13th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3117 East 28th (1972), 5151 Highgate (1988) and 376 West 20th (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1128 Barclay, 475 Bute, 690 Bute, 2036 East Georgia, 4534 Langara and 744 West 26th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
