    Christine, for the viewers, the image on the card is of the Headquarters Buildings. The street you are looking down is Taylor Avenue, looking west. Poplar Level Road is at your back. The crossroad in the background, running between the buildings is Redwood Drive. A bank is now located on the right side of road, Camp Taylor Park is on the left, past Redwood Drive. Ken M
