HossC, when i first saw your post, I knew I had a similar photograph but couldn't find it in all my disorganized files.
Well I
finally found it.
below: Looking down New High street toward Franklin St.
detail
-the above view is from this photograph.
old file of mine dated 2012 (I always meant to post this but never did)
notice the "San Diego Beer" blade sign on the corner...as well as a sign advertising "Oak Bar". I'm unsure about the cut-off building plaque K R OK L.
-and if you look closely, there is a WELCOME sign on the courthouse tower.
-a glimpse of several buildings on the opposite side of the courthouse (on Broadway). -also, note the "New" sign on the utility pole at far right (for New High Street)
a detail of the steps, with Celtic-looking ornament engraved in stone. (oh, and two lions)
