Today

601 Bute, 658 East 65th, 312 Water and 4629 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946, 601 Bute on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 274 East 39th (1978) and 87 East 46th (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 441 Glen Drive, 4236 West 8th and 303 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
