Today

4708 Blenheim and 485 West 14th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1637 East 10th (2004), 42 East 26th (1977), 636 East 8th (1982), 2545 West 14th (2021), 3692 West 37th (2006) and 3033 West 7th (1982) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6528 Angus Drive, 1675 Davie, 278 East 11th, 1810 West 36th and 2160 West 38th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
