Today

4679 Blenheim, 166 East 27th, 6162 McCleery, 2085 Parker, 1243 Thurlow and 36 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1243 Thurlow and 36 West 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 1615 Napier, 909 Richards, 1729 Robson, 636 West 10th, 685 West 26th and 1386 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
