Today

993 Broughton, 137 East Hastings, 1723 Stephens, 3627 West 1st, 1961 West King Edward and 3825 West King Edward still have their buildings from before 1946, 993 Broughton on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5253 Culloden (1983), 945 East 21st (2013), 3535 Walker (1975), 3287 West 33rd (2019) and 2210 West 40th (1986) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1159 Beach, 1923 Main, 1877 Pendrell, 1807 Renfrew, 1234 Robson, 2135 West 15th and 2130 West 43rd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 237 West 6th, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
