Today

1386 Nicola and 2295 West 1st still have their buildings from before 1946, 1386 Nicola on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5263 Chambers (1981), 4001 Clark Drive (2008), 1810 Collingwood (1987) and 2963 West 30th (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4024 West 18th, so that building is probably gone (inferred).
