Location of Photo of Eng 302 in 1939?

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The photo looks like Pulaski to me also.  The buildings
look like they belong to the old Acid Plant.  So if the photo
was Pulaski it would have been taken from the southeast end
(towards Dora) of the Pulaski yard.  It would have been taken
from the south side of the yard near or on the banks of Peak
Creek.
