Additional commentary.
1. Marker missing
This small marker located on the street light standard is gone and was removed in the past few years when the light standard (the pole) was removed, along with the Auction Site marker next to it. This is based on Google street view from April 2019 and an in-person visit recently. Whereabouts of the marker is unknown.
