Hi Nathan
Excellent information and photographs. They made my afternoon.
It's always amazing to compare before and after photos (especially when the after pics are from 1973).
I found the 1957 Thomas Guide map of Bunker Hill to be very helpful.
Below: I found a photo of the building we were discussing on the previous page. The one at 3rd Street and Grand Ave.
You were absolutely correct.....there is a sign for the New Grand Hotel (as well as the deli).
I don't have any info, but I'm guessing this is Walker Evans.
