Today

2046 Dunbar, 175 East Broadway, 2493 Eton, 2856 West 10th and 3750 West 26th still have their buildings from before 1946; 295 East 2nd (1976), 4115 Welwyn (1988) and 2495 West 10th (1996) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1056 Comox, 847 Denman, 431 East Georgia, 123 Powell, 1275 West 14th and 1375 West 15th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
