First thing that popped in my head, but a quick glance on street view reveals a bunch of differing features. Quite a few homes in random spots JP that look like they used to be neighborhood general stores... this one could be tough.

according to that link. If the street numbering is the same now, 492 Southampton Street is near the Andrew Square end, not near Mass. and Cass.
Great link

Enjoy the ice cream, but I’d suggest avoiding the fudge ripple.
