I see that they graffiti artists even back then! Gives more credence to the GSG having nothing to do with the JtR case...

And the questions always linger, no real answer in sight

Rather a pretty entrance, especially the window. Mock gothic.

Yes, see the chalk caricature to the left of the archway? That's Col. Francis Charles Hughes-Hallett. He left a portrait of himself.
