Looking Across Main Street, circa 1950, Part II

Some of you might remember this beautiful photograph looking out across the dorms towards the fledgling Med Center, taken in about 1950:

I posted it about a year ago and some discussion broke out in the comments about where the photographer was standing. The roof of Fondren was the consensus pick and it looks like that was correct. This is from yesterday, just a quick eyeball guess taken with a pocket camera:

You can barely see the tops of the dorms over the roof of Humanities. The only way you can really get a good look at them at all is to retreat to the back part of the roof (the 1967 addition):

Bonus: What the heck, as long as I’m up here . . .
