Today

4407 Blenheim, 1386 Nicola, 4310 Slocan and 150 West 8th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1386 Nicola on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 409 East 19th (1981) and 3533 Point Grey Road (2020) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3336 Fraser and 2695 West 16th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
