Thanks for recognizing the house
rick m!
Actually, the McBurney house is seen through-out the film
"Angel's Flight: (and maybe even some interiors).
I'm going to keep my screenshots small/medium because the print of the film on YouTube is abysmal (grainy...blurry...fuzzy...
Towards the beginning of the film the landlady sees a murder victim on one of the benches down below and screams
from an upper window in the McBurney house.
victim
Lodger "Liz" sneaks in the back-way of the McBurney house (actual interior?)

Later in the film, lodger Liz stares out her bedroom window in the McBurney house.
Here's what she sees (I'm not sure if this is actually what she would have seen from that vantage point) -we're looking west here, right?
And then the view fades to NIGHT.
The bright horizontal building in the distance caught my eye.(the first floor appears to blink) Anyone know what building that would be??
If you want to watch this cool fade-to-black scene on the video, it occurs at
26:26)

I believe this might be the interior of the McBurney house as well.
front porch McBurney / man comes running out

I believe they also filmed inside the old B.P.O.E. (Elks) building at the top of Angels Flight.(at Olive & Third)
out the front door
advertising various amenities in the old BPOE.
Later in the film, he sees 'Liz' out of his upstairs window in the BPOE. (he's looking for his lighter
,
then he sees her)
(that's Liz in the white dress in front of Angels Flight Cafe............................
then the film cuts to Liz. -his window in the BPOE is visible behind her (I've circled the one I think he's in)
He comes running out to help Liz
I've avoided giving away spoilers.
