Trying to figure out where within this house they lived is an exercise in futility imo because the house card and the house photo that were used don't illustrate any residence that ever existed on that block

Huh? Why?

Because the photo has lots of things wrong with it - look closely at the large version I posted. I’m sure you’ll find some things that don’t seem right to you. I believe the photo is a construct of elements “borrowed” from other property photographs both old and modern. Also the building that was really there probably burned down long before 1985 when a couple of the articles said it was torn down in order to put up the apartment building.

The catalog cards have problems, too. I’ve been fighting a flu bug for a few days and don’t feel very well. If I felt better, I’d show you some things I found by posting them tonight.

I’ll be happy to do some of it tomorrow for you if you’d like to see it. It’d be nice to have some feedback - your remarks so far about the residence tell me you might have some valuable input.
