Today

522 Keefer, 233 Abbott, 6560 Angus Drive, 1980 Kitchener, 3520 West 14th and 3565 West 18th still have their buildings from before 1946, 522 Keefer and 233 Abbott on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1556 East 5th (1987) and 4955 Joyce (1976) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1213 Barclay and 2735 Victoria Drive, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
