Today

2274 East 7th, 2026 Mannering, 3111 Victoria Drive and 2696 West 34th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3764 Commercial (2006), 975 East 17th (1987), 277 East 46th (2018), 311 East 55th (2012), 3546 East Pender (1988) and 2196 Napier (2014) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 400 East 10th and 3518 Fraser, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
