Here are three amateur snapshots I recently came across on ebay.
I especially like this one.

Great shot looking north on Hill Street from atop the north portal of Hill Street tunnel no. 1, with the car turning south onto Hill Street from Temple and the south portal of Hill Street tunnel no. 2 clearly visible. Best view I've ever seen of tunnel no. 2. Notice also the streetcar sitting to the right of the tunnel between the two trees. I wonder if it is on a siding or if there was a spur to allow streetcars on Temple access to the tunnel. Hill Street jogs to the right at Temple before continuing up and over Fort Moore Hill, the clock tower at the high school is visible center/top horizon-line. The clock tower/belfry on the Poundcake High School building is visible in the haze at top/left horizon-line. Note the advertisement below right for Julian Eltinge who was quite active (and popular) locally in the teens, so this may be somewhat earlier than 1920.
