Today

2537 Nanaimo still has its building from before 1946, dated 1911 by the City's record; 474 Alexander (1959) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 881 East Cordova, 102 Heatley, 240 Main, 1815 Pine, 14 Powell, 3014 Wall, 1534 West 3rd and 736 West 7th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
