Today

1337 Adanac, 1091 Broughton, 5624 Commercial, 1032 East 12th, 614 East 21st, 224 West 12th and 3015 West 12th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1343 Adanac (1950), 31 East 5th (1976), 2328 Heather (1998) and 3873 West 24th (2012) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1381 East 11th and 3168 West King Edward, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred); for 683 East 8th, its page says what we could and couldn't match to today's buildings.
