No 3 Deckers on Elmer Road
The road does not bend that way either. It isn't Semont, nor St. Mark's Road either. The street in the picture is too short for those and the housing placement is wrong on the corner.

Thanks John. Standing at Savin Hill Station, I often thought those houses up there looked like only one side of a street.
