Do you mean the SW corner? Because that's this bldg, and I'm interested to know how you came across the St. Mark name -- I've always called it either the Cecil or by its later name The Gladden. Anyway, I can definitely say yes, it's this building, because I've got a full-frontal image of it clearly at this corner just before demolition (unfortunately, a photo of an unpublished slide I don't own so can't post it here).
However, I am happy to say that this movie star of a building is in more than just
Brasher Doubloon (post #1930). Having done a bunch of shot examinations of
The Turning Point back on pp. 69-70, here's another one:

Here's William Holden checking out the scene:
But where's he checking out the scene FROM? Good question! Kitty-corner, there was a market in the apartment building at 501 W 1st/103 N Olive. It's obscured a bit by this mother and daughter --

...and of course one thing leads to another...
...so here's that market in better detail, October 09, 1951. Oh, still partially obscured...
