Is it correct to say that this area was pretty much wiped out for the Harbor Freeway?

yeah, pretty much everything on 8th between bixel and francisco has been obliterated by either the harbor, or just plain ol' development.

at the lower right in this 1955 aerial you can see the tall building at the intersection of francisco and 8th

In this 1982 image taken from 8th and bixel looking east, (almost from the same vanatge point), you can see everything is purty much gone
