Where else could you get a high shot like this except from Profanity Hill and the old Courthouse tower? Isn't that Fire Station still there, minus the tower? I think Harborview Security works out of it. I think Scott and Bryan are right. Where else could you get a high shot like this except from Profanity Hill and the old Courthouse tower?

So the block in the immediate foreground got replaced by Harborview. Yes, I see the firehouse now in the 1936 dataset, on Alder, and that little dirt trail is still there too.

The only building that I can see that remains is the Fire Station. It no longer has the tower, though. It's "Engine House No. 3" at the NW corner of Terry and Alder: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=47.604152,-122.321928&spn=0,359.995569&z=19&layer=c&cbll=47.604065,-122.321847&panoid=tI_SuIgHZcvtk9joiZ7cpA&cbp=12,237.21,,0,-3.72 I think Bryan has it right.

That was my first thought, too, (Alder is street in foreground), and that sorta jibes with the distant background if you squint just right, but then it seemed if this were Alder and still shot from the courthouse, it wouldn't really work out, number-of-blocks-to-boren-wise. I dunno, I fold. I see Bryan’s comment now (must have been hung up earlier).

No fire station, but the building in the lower left foreground might be the same. It really couldn't be anything else though. I'm okay with Terrace.

There aren't many of those little goat-tracks left in town. I love the little dirt path through the empty lot at lower right. There aren’t many of those little goat-tracks left in town.
