Today

850 West Hastings still has its building from before 1946, dated 1913 by the City's record and on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 676 East 30th (1992), 606 East 50th (2011) and 6946 Fraser (1953) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 601 Campbell, 6390 Cypress, 107 East Pender, 1042 Haro, 1048 Robson, 710 Seymour, 3203 Wellington, 3641 West 37th and 1195 West Hastings, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
