I appreciate the clarification Hoss. That aerial helps.



Thanks Wig Wag for digging up the information on the 1946 "sowbelly" street-car slide.

The iron "fencing" is still the same along Temple (on the left in both images)



A closer look at the hilltop reveals a building that looks more like a mad doctor's evil lair than an exterminator business.
(the old house would have been back by the large palms)

If you look across the street, there's still a massive hill in place.
