Today

756 East Broadway and 2730 Woodland Drive still have their buildings from before 1946; 4268 Commercial (1976), 26 East 55th (1980), 536 East 8th (2020), 8155 Montcalm (1994), 2692 West 12th (2021), 1867 West 3rd (1975) and 75 West 40th (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1124 Barclay, 1800 Charles, 814 Granville, 672 Homer, 3337 Pandora, 2170 Turner, 1466 West 14th and 1531 West 4th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 159 East Hastings, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
