Many thanks to
Odinthor for digging up that 1911 article about the 'Arcade Terrace' entry and steps.
& just as many thanks to
Flyingwedge for posting that phenomenal aerial photograph of Arcade Terrace in the earliest days of it's existence.

yep, you're correct

I agree with
t2....it does look like low benches in-between the stanchions.
below: You can see where it used to be attached (I think) -It looks too low....but it also looks low in the black & white pic above
There might even be a total of 6 stanchions if you count this one (it's mate is hidden in shadow)

I believe the original stairs from 1911 are still in place, despite being 106 years old!
Note the stairs in the following pics of a hypothetical building on the vacant lot behind 1669.

They have the same exact shape as the stairs in
FW's 1922 aerial photograph.

Today, it's mostly obscured by trees and bushes
