Today

1609 Cypress, 3344 West 28th and 2506 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946; 2797 West 32nd (2014) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 193 East Hastings, 2144 East Pender, 750 Granville, 2317 West 10th and 904 West 21st, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
