Today

1081 Burrard, 2070 Quilchena Crescent, 1390 West 14th, 1536 West 14th, 1591 West 16th, 981 West 18th, 801 West Georgia and 921 West Pender still have their buildings from before 1946, 1081 Burrard, 1390 West 14th and 801 West Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1866 West 4th (1965) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2995 East 54th, 446 East 6th, 719 Jervis, 2042 Kingsway, 318 Main, 391 Powell, 3478 Vanness and 2250 West 11th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 271 Union, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
