gsjansen, I'm glad you got to post your screengrabs from 'Backfire'. It gives us a great look at the Fremont and its surrounding buildings.

If anyone's still unsure which mansions and apartment buildings/hotels were where on 4th Street, here's part of a panorama from 1930. From left to right (west to east) they are: the Castle Towers, the Hildreth Mansion, the Barbara Worth Apartments, the Gibson, the LaBelle, the Kiernan, the Gordon, the Crestholme, the Bronx, the Zelda, the Rose Mansion and the Fremont Hotel.

When looking at the picture above, I noticed that some of the hillside below the 4th Street Cut/Castle Towers had been removed to make a small parking lot. It looks like the stairs between Flower and the 4th Street also disappeared.

For a reminder - here's how the hillside looked in 1916.
