In the distance..........the Brown-Leigh Apartments....the Hotel Victor...
I posted this detail which includes the Brownleigh/Brown Leigh Apartments and the Victor Apartments back in December 2013, but since I failed to name any of the apartment buildings in the text, they won't show up in searches. The picture also includes the Harbour Apartments.

The Brownleigh Apartments appear in the 1972 movie 'Hickey & Boggs'. At least some of the interior shots were filmed on location as well. Here's the front of the building on St Paul Avenue.

I'm guessing that must be the Victor with the "Single Apartments" sign. The site of the little house from the Cityscape seems to be a parking lot.
