In this article I notice an earlier company (Harris) that was located on Sichel St.

You're looking at the northeast corner of Sichel St. and N. Main St.
The building is still there.

On the north

That floating crate makes an appearance in the first photo as well (I think the photographer might have moved it for effect.

Here's the same view today.

the victorian home down the street has survived.
a closer look.
And there's a smaller home next door that appears to be even older.
It somewhat reminds me of a workers cottage.
In this aerial you can see clearly see the wrap-around addition that was added to the original cottage.

it's also interesting that the house is situated so far back on the property.

sidenote:
Surprisingly, Sichel Street has only been mentioned once on the thread.
when
WS1911 deciphered the street name on this postcard I found on ebay.
