Today

2638 Glen Drive, 2570 Hemlock, 2037 Parker, 434 West 20th and 375 West 23rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 1711 East 34th (2005) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2264 East 7th, 209 Prior and 765 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
