I believe it is the parking lot at the top of Court Flight... |
If it were at Court Flight, I believe the hall of records would be in between the camera and City Hall.
I think my post about this picture on page 448 may have been missed as we turned over to a new page just 90 minutes later, so I'm going to put it up again here:

Compare to this picture from your opening post of this thread:
I bet that night photo was taken from right next to the stanchions. The relationship between City Hall and the old state office building seems to be exactly the same. So, it's Bunker Hill just north of 1st St., standing just west of the Hill St. tunnels. In the night shot above, you can catch just a tiny piece of the railing over the tunnel entrance at bottom center.
Thus, the camera position is the top left corner of this photo, left of the house:
