Today

5807 Wallace, 3620 West 20th, 1458 West 33rd, 3726 West 33rd and 2258 West 35th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1721 Comox (1956) and 5031 Nanaimo (1983) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 725 Broughton, 3226 East 43rd, 2541 East Hastings, 7827 Hudson, 921 Kingsway, 4905 Ontario, 1938 West 3rd and 1138 West Hastings, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
