We’re looking north-northeast here. The motel on the left (with the obelisk-like structure in front) is now the site of a Citizen’s Business Bank branch, and the property east of the tracks and north of Huntington is currently home to Rusnak Mercedes-Benz. The P.R.W. north of Huntington is now Santa Clara Street, and 735 is just entering what would later become the eastbound (Northeastbound?) lanes of Huntington Drive as it “splits” around Methodist Hospital and the civic center.
