Does that title make sense? Shouldn't that be "east OF Prospect"?

Anyone know exactly where on Central this scene is?

Seller thinks it's c. 1908.

 Must be the corner of Central and Prospect.  I don't see any slope to the curb, so the curb must be Prospect.  Perhaps that is the original house for which Quail Heights was named.

The card says "ON Central Ave", so the curb would have to be Central, but since there's no slope, where does that leave it?

Since the wording is screwy to begin with, it might be an error card.

It sort of looks like the Dr's. residence (which is still there)on the northwest corner of Central and Summit.....But they probably all looked similar back then.....I'm going by the picture in my minds eye.....

P.S. He's a Great Doctor
