More than that; The 350 series is the best-preserved, but 311 is at
Orbisonia as well as (I think) 356. I have a picture of one of the 350's
taken in a yard in San Francisco (windows boarded over) in the early 1990s
somewhere which I'll dig out as soon as I get my house reorganized and
upload somewhere.
