Today

2930 Manitoba, 2528 Napier and 326 Powell still have their buildings from before 1946, 2930 Manitoba on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 240 Alexander, 2004 Columbia, 2104 East Hastings, 1316 Kingsway, 242 Main, 170 Powell, 237 Powell, 404 Vernon Drive, 1742 West 1st, 756 West 7th, 3476 West Broadway and 2095 Yew, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
