Many now-vanished structures are documented here. At lower center is Randolph Hall; Calhoun Street runs top to bottom along the left of photo. 70 St. Philip Street is the white house at the corner of Calhoun and St. Philip streets. The large building to its right is Brith Sholom Synagogue (68 St. Philip) with the 1940s brick-veneered façade that replaced its columned portico. Daughters of Israel Hall, 64 St. Philip Street, stands south of the synagogue’s garden; the adjacent white building is 62 St. Philip with tenements along McBride’s Lane behind it. South of McBride’s Lane, the massive yellow-brick building is 58 St. Philip, the Jewish Community Center (later College Preparatory School). Continuing south are 56 St. Philip, with its walled front garden; 54 St. Philip; 52 St. Philip, the Kelly home (white façade); and 50 St. Philip (set back on the lot and barely visible here). 48 St. Philip, 46 St. Philip (tucked far back), 44, 42, and 40 St. Philip, with 58 George Street facing south, complete the streetscape. At top right is the rear of Gloria Theatre (Sotille); the three-story building facing George Street was Central School, first home of the Jewish Community Center.
