I didn't, but the Hopkins Real Estate Map at:

http://digital.library.pitt.edu/maps/browse.html

does. I've attached a snippet of the appropriate map, (Eastern Vicinity, 1915, plate 36) slightly annotated. Derrick's Magic Mail Mauler will store it away somewhere in the bowels of his machine, leaving behind a link to it.

The red circle with a couple lines radiating from it marks where I think the cameraman stood to take the picture. As can be seen on the map, the street visible in the photo is Oakmont Avenue.
