    description of location may be wrong

    Actually, I think it's right, they just never opened the portion of Boundary beyond the house on the right, and later abandoned the portion attached to fifth. If you look at the map in the link below, you'll see boundary existed as a paper street, basically now describing the current lot line between Central Catholic and WQED/CMU. Also, you can see what appears to be the house in the photo on the prop of D. H. Hostetter.

    Incidentally, is that the oldest known photo of a port-a-john?
