Today

1310 East 24th, 525 East 45th and 8 West 23rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 3869 Commercial (1962), 586 East 50th (1984), 665 East 54th (1975), 565 East 55th (1997), 645 East 55th (1973), 7851 Montcalm (2005) and 2040 Nelson (1972) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3849 Commercial and 7894 Windsor, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
