Second go at this thanks to Lojack who I think is right as regards the streets. I went with the present day
map with the changed street names and got confused.

I think this is the site where the Samson and US Tire factories, from Flyingwedge's Sanborn maps, stood
at N. Wilmington and Terebinth.




I can't spot a building like the one in the Winter Quarters picture though.
