As I remember, this used to be an accountants office for many years, if it's a block or two from Hamilton. His name used to be above the door. Name escapes me.

Thanks Tom, It's been driving me crazy. I called my girlfriend to ask his name, she never got back to me.

This building appears to be at an intersection but for the life of me I can't figure out where on South Olden it might be. The street number 502 would put it near the intersection with Hamilton on the same side of South Olden as St. Anthony's Church and School but there doesn't appear to be any streets on that side of Olden between Hamilton and the school/church. Is the street address correct?

This building is on the corner of Hobart and South Olden. The 1st floor of the building was Briggs library when I was a kid and lived right next door from around 1966 to 1982. In the early days the kids from St. Anthony's would throw milk cartons out the window in to our back yard. Briggs moved to Greenwood Ave in the 70's.
