Wednesday Mystery Spot

Last week's Mystery Spot was scant challenge to eagle-eyed Spotters. Yep, as BF, Joe, and cmadler correctly guessed, it's a sliver of the former Luna Lake in Prospect Park.

This week we're venturing a bit westwards to this site that at one time was situated right off Washtenaw. This building was torn down in 1917 and replaced by another building that in turn was torn down in 1979. What was the original building's function? Take your best guess and good luck!

Isn't this the county indigent home or sanitarium that was located where the Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center is now located?

I've seen this picture before......

Interesting guess Building Place...we'll see. :)

Although, I was not sure of the building, the address bar is a dead give away. OR was that to try to trick us.

(impassive face) Hard to tell, isn't it now Joe? One can never be too careful!

:D

Someone who used to work at the Observer might know the answer, as well as some readers.

Sigh...clearly I need to step up me game in a big way. Luckily I scanned an especially baffling pic yesterday at the Archives for next Wednesday.
