The caption for this photo from 'Compton' by Robert Lee Johnson claims to show Tom Mix's winter quarters in Compton. I've studied the picture for a while, and discounted several buildings, but still can't decide which one belonged to Tom Mix.

Even Tom Mix's own adverts don't give a street address. You just write to "Tom Mix Circus and Wild West, Winter Quarters, Compton, California."
