Today

1906 Haro and 1666 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3288 Austrey (1999), 963 East 24th (1992), 55 East 4th (1993), 2609 Grant (1983), 5131 Highgate (1984), 8491 Hudson (1987) and 6916 Lanark (1976) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 337 Dunsmuir, 811 East 45th, 1236 West 10th, 624 West 11th, 1786 West 12th, 1242 West 8th and 1246 West 8th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
