Today

433 East 23rd, 825 Granville and 485 West 14th still have their buildings from before 1946; 6111 Adera (1995) and 4718 Fleming (1965) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2518 Alberta, 1019 Dunsmuir, 8745 Oak, 7177 Sherbrooke and 1877 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
