Today

6239 Chester and 2205 Turner still have their buildings from before 1946; 7106 Clarendon (1993), 50 East King Edward (1975), 1254 Pendrell (1972), 6216 Prince Albert (1965) and 123 West 14th (2015) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1148 Burrard, 924 Jackson, 2725 Pine, 2158 Turner, 2824 West 15th, 4250 West 4th and 1726 West 60th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
