(Also a couple weeks after school starts!) Unfortunately, none of the series of photos taken there (and there are more) shows a good, wide view of the grounds so I can say what has or hasn't changed in 70 years. The residential neigborhoods on side streets around the grounds may well be pre-WW2, but the commercial development surrounding it on US 7 itself is definitely postwar!
