Today

3141 Ivanhoe, 222 Keefer, 2225 West 1st and 3586 West 30th still have their buildings from before 1946; 3437 Osler (1988) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6228 Fraser, 1173 Nelson, 2703 West 14th, 1468 West 71st and 2185 West Broadway, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
