The church in the background is the South Third Street Presbyterian Church. The church was first organized in 1844. The building in this picture was constructed in 1845-46. The church was demolished in the 1960s or 1970s and replaced with a new structure. The congregation is still active in this new church.
jtp – yes, that is the right view. The Novelty was demolished ca. 1919 to construct the apartment building that you see in that photo (so it is post-war, but the war in question is WWI, not WWII!).
The apartment building is called the Novelty Court – a nice little tie back to the past.
