This Prescott ('74) Grad knew people who knew people who lived there and I know I've mentioned that triangle in a thread here before.
I know the long, brick garage on the south side of the alley behind Wrightwood once served as a stable for horses used by Terra-Cotta.
I guessing the alley locked house was the Stable Masters' home.
