Today

804 East 10th, 1772 East 2nd and 2006 West 15th still have their buildings from before 1946, 2006 West 15th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 5969 Elm (1988), 6666 Marguerite (1986) and 1916 West 11th (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6157 Balsam, 873 Hornby, 5930 Hudson, 1506 West 11th, 1096 West 14th and 994 West 19th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
