Today

1657 East 12th, 615 East 49th, 3119 Point Grey Road, 3523 West 2nd and 3321 West 37th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3649 Cambridge (2016), 512 East 29th (1983), 2696 East 4th (2012), 4406 West 9th (2017) and 75 West Broadway (1985) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6060 Alma, 718 Granville, 2043 Pendrell, 1125 West 11th, 1235 West 12th, 944 West Broadway, 2867 West Broadway and 1334 West Pender, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
