"Looking NW from just north of the corner of Grant and Oliver. The Nixon Theater, which would be torn down in the 1950s to make way for the Alcoa building (now "Regional Enterprise Tower").

"Potter title and trust was at 4th and grant across from the City-County Building, as per their ad in a 1915 directory: http://digital.library...

"It's funny, these buildings exist on the 1903 map before the hump cut, but the corner is Dante and fountain.

Map: http://images.library....
