 Today, there is a two-story building around the parking lot where the Dictaphone truck was parked (northwest corner).
...but this two-story building looks fairly old to me (yet it's missing in the 1970s slide).

The 1964 aerial shows buildings covering most of the block, but it was a parking lot by 1972. As far as I can see, the current building appeared between 1994 and 2003. The view below is fron 1980.
