    Aha! After a fair amount of research, I figured out exactly where the shop is. Looks like the original building is still standing (satellite photo).

    iris.schimandle: Thanks for the correction! We've updated all 19 affected records in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html), and the information will be updated in Flickr soon, too. (4/25/08)

    The common technical term is 'marking', not 'indicating'.
