Today

6055 Alma, 1307 Devonshire Crescent, 2037 East 3rd, 1656 Nanton, 3328 Point Grey Road and 1521 Salsbury Drive still have their buildings from before 1946; 3609 Eton (1994) and 75 West 40th (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1056 Comox, 626 East 16th, 8706 Osler, 1054 West 10th and 5905 Yew, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 786 Gilford, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
