Today

4323 Elgin, 2528 McGill, 2464 Parker and 3432 Triumph still have their buildings from before 1946; 3630 Cambridge (1989), 3273 Venables (2001) and 2939 West 39th (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 960 East 26th, 675 East 46th, 2435 East Pender, 230 Hawks, 1958 Venables, 4063 Victoria Drive, 4439 West 10th, 3110 West 2nd, 2538 West Broadway and 925 West Georgia, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
