Today

5489 Elm, 12 Kootenay, 166 West 19th, 3224 West 2nd and 3883 West 30th still have their buildings from before 1946; 917 East 51st (2001) and 638 Prior (1973) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4675 Gothard and 1145 West 12th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
