The address of the building in the photo is 16. There is no 24. It’s unclear whether it was demolished, or the derelict second story removed. The ad says it was at the corner of Chadbourne and Harris, in which case it was demolished many years ago.

So the Don Lewis photo is at the wrong location?

Probably. There’s no way you could have fit almost 900 people in that space. Unfortunately, the later Yearbooks, which often have addresses, don’t give any for San Angelo.
