On Top of the World…or at least Arcadia (Street)

I previously stated that I was unsure where this photos was taken. A reader named James wrote in that it’s “the view from atop the school, facing South East. You can see the edge of the football field along the fence line in the middle left of the pic. The white house in the middle right is still there, at the corner of Adams and Arcadia. That large apt building on the other corner is still there, too.” Thanks, James! The photo was in one of the North High School Memory Books (their yearbook). [From a North High School Memory Book]

    This looks to me the view from atop the school, but facing SE. You can see the edge of the football field along the fence line in the middle left of the pic. The white house in the middle right is still there, at the corner of Adams and Arcadia. That large apt building on the other corner is still there, too.

    If you stand on top of the North High School building and face southeast you will be able to see some of the building in the photo. North High School was built in 1923.

    The first house, built 1920, at the right edge of the image is 141 Arcadia. This first floor window seems to have been widened and the porch enclosed.

    The white house, built 1893, in 2011 have blue vinyl siding, as is 2683 Adams. The side of the house is visible in the photo.

    Moving east the street is currently named Adams.

    The brick structure, built 1920, is 163-163 1/2 Arcadia is in the photo. The dormers are the same today.

    169 Arcadia, built 1925, is not in the photo.
    175 Arcadia, built 1925, is not in the photo.
    179 Arcadia, built 1923, looks like it is in the image with the same roofline, but I will have to look more closely at the windows.
    185 Arcadia, built 1926, is not in the image, but another structure is.
    191 Arcadia, built 1920, roof and front dormer is in the photo.

    This is assuming the Franklin County records are accurate.
    Photo was taken after 1923 and before 1925.
    My guess; the photo was taken immediately after completion of the construction of North High School.
