Today

1134 East 12th, 366 East 28th, 4511 Elgin, 3044 Point Grey Road and 3920 West 22nd still have their buildings from before 1946; 3072 East 18th (2004), 1620 East 21st (2013), 1112 East 28th (2002) and 1886 East 50th (1982) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1836 Alberni, 1760 Davie and 141 East 52nd, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 786 Gilford, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
