Is the 1950 photo of 1225 @ the intersection of Graham and Buchanan just south or east by RR, from the Pleasant St. Tower? Franklin Fuel was at 145 Franklin. It looks like we might be looking at the north end of their facility. The "fur . . . " on the fence might be for "furnace" since Franklin Fuel sold furnaces, building supplies and other items besides coal. There are no houses in that area now but according to my 1945 Polks there were two houses north of Graham on the east side of Buchanan and many houses on the north side of Graham east of Buchanan. It also looks like Buchanan goes from the east side of the tracks to the west in this picture, just like it does today at Graham.
Great photos, I have never seen these before that I can recall.
