I can't quite figure out what going on with the facade. It almost looks open-air with a grand outdoor staircase in the center. |
You're looking at the back of the building in the panorama. From the 1910 Baist map it appears to be 634 S Grand Avenue. The 1911 CD lists furnished rooms belonging to Mrs Mary Benson at that address, with several residents also listed.
