Today

2167 Dundas, 828 East 32nd and 3914 West 21st still have their buildings from before 1946; 1330 Bute (1981), 3681 McGill (1963), 3125 West 13th (2010) and 766 West 7th (1982) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1847 East 5th, 1245 Nelson and 925 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
