Today

1749 Charles, 2612 Duke, 2505 East 4th, 2293 East 5th, 3364 West 11th and 3405 West 20th still have their buildings from before 1946; 4771 Slocan (1973) and 856 West 13th (1981) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1812 Adanac, 651 Templeton Drive and 26 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
