Today

470 Granville, 1504 West 14th and 5 West Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946, 5 West Hastings on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 420 East 21st (1984), 5804 Sherbrooke (2002) and 2909 West 24th (1948) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1128 Davie, 1322 East 41st and 827 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
