This is an image taken in 1908 and appearing on a post card. The scene is somewhere in Park Place. It contains sufficient clues to lead you to its location. Where was this image taken?

The image was Granby St, looking north. The visible cross-street on the left is 34th.  The trolley is just crossing 35th. Hidden behind the hedge row on the right is the entrance to Lafayette Park.  Both homes seen on the left are gone; the clinic and its parking lot now occupy those lots. However, both of those homes are visible in another post card image taken from inside the park looking west past the entrance and down 35th Street.  The current home on the corner had not yet been built when this photo was taken.
