Today

1624 East 2nd, 4753 Little and 4522 West 3rd still have their buildings from before 1946; 5431 Argyle (1985), 1155 Bidwell (1968), 1283 East 33rd (1980) and 2628 Parker (2000) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 525 East 44th, 1437 East Hastings, 8465 Granville, 1221 Pendrell, 1809 Vanness, 1095 West 14th and 2215 West 5th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
