Today

1060 Granville and 1465 West 15th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1060 Granville on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2975 East 17th (1990), 2182 East 38th (2000), 1066 West 11th (1961), 1511 West 65th (2017) and 1140 West Pender (1984) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 676 East 44th, 659 Granville, 2550 Laurel, 5207 Victoria Drive, 1679 West Broadway and 411 West Cordova, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
