Historical context

The current DMHS miscellaneous-photo index identifies the location as 16th Avenue South and South 284th Street. The legacy popup body incorrectly said South 248th Street; the image filename and image alt text also support South 284th.

Research note: Corrected South 248th to South 284th based on two independent fields within the current DMHS site package plus the live collection index.

Research references

Historical identifications are stated only where supported by the existing DMHS collection or corroborating research. Unresolved dates, names, and locations are identified as such rather than inferred from appearance alone.
