Today

5684 Aberdeen, 5114 Fairmont and 3125 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946; 749 East 18th (1986), 2029 East 8th (1986), 403 Powell (1947) and 3751 West 51st (1983) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2796 East 16th, so that building is probably gone (inferred).
