Oh yeah, not a bad set. Gonna bid on them for sure!
So top row, left to right, you've got the utility stairs between the Hillcrest and the Astoria, looking from Clay up to Olive, near Third. There's demolition debris where the Hillcrest was so I'd peg these negs to late September/early October 1961.
Next shot is what looks like a jumble of demo debris. Probably from the Hillcrest. Next shot over is the doorway of the
Dome Apartments. The next two shots, stacked one atop the other, are of the
Brousseau.
Bottom row, far left, the back of something that fronts onto...somewhere. After I get it and look at it with a loupe I'll find some clue I'm sure.
Next to that is looking south on Grand from near 2nd alongside
the Dome again. (Note: in the seller's listing they placed this neg down backward, so the image is reversed.)
Then there's what looks like a burnt-out structure, and, there was never any lack of structures aflame on the Hill, like the Boswell burning in May '62 or the Dome conflagration of '64. There was a stable in back of the Castle converted to residential that burned at some point, this may be that; I'll have to check into the date.
And speaking of
the Castle, that there on the end of this row is our final photo.
