Hey, you found the 1910 church
Tetsu! Thanks so much.
Did you notice the google-mobile drove behind the church back in 2007? In my initial post, I thought the 'cabin' in the back was being torn down,
when it was probably just being built in 1910. The extremely short 'street' that runs behind the church is called 'Pearl Place'.
Here it is with it's neighbor.

-oh....and as I was turning the google-mobile around, I noticed a third house back there too. -also on 'Pearl Place'.

the street appears to be turn right but it doesn't. It dead ends.

'mystery' school.
I happened across this rare 1928 silent film starring Lloyd Hamilton.
"Lloyd Hamilton is seldom given a mention today even among silent comedy fans. One significant reason to this is his sad lack of surviving output;
most of his negatives were destroyed in a laboratory fire at Universal shortly after his death. He died an unemployable alcoholic in 1935, aged 43."
In this comedy short,
"Blazing Away", there's a madcap football game at 7:38, and I've been trying to figure out which school they used in the filming.
First you get a hint of the school...just a corner.

Then the camera pulls back.......and there's an addition that has been attached to the back of the school.

Further back still, there are additional out buildings (for athletics I surmise).

The last one being the largest. This might be an indoor gym/basketball court.

I'd love to find these interesting building shapes on an old
baist map.
We also get a glimpse of some neighborhood houses. -these two appear to be identical.

At the far end of the football field there appear to be multiple antennas rising above the trees.

Here's a closer look, and Yes, he's riding a pig.

BUT......in the middle of these scenes, twice they cut away to what appears to be a totally different location (perhaps they added these scenes later).
Here's the 1st image: The windows aren't grouped in pairs (like they are in the addition to the 'white' school).

I believe in the upper right edge there might be a bell tower (just a sliver of it)......................................................
The game proceeds again at the 'white' school......but a few minutes later you see this brief view....which appears to be the same location as the above image.

Anyone feel like trying to solve this little riddle just for the fun of it? (to watch the video click on any of the links below the screengrabs)

Earlier there is a scene at a train station; I'm going to post about that next.
