I believe this little house has survived but there is no way to get a closer look at it.

Was there, at one time, a street between (and running parallel with) Prospect and Altura Avenues? (you can see a line)
The way it is now, 2717 Altura is three house in from the actual street. ...How did that happen?



Check it out for yourself HERE

And if that line between Prospect & Altura used to be an alleyway...it still doesn't make much sense.




Here's why I think it's the same house. (the porch roof appears to match)
.................................................................................................................................SOUTH is at the top.

gsv / NORTH is at the bottom.








Also...what's up with the rocks on top of the porch?
