To follow up on my post from yesterday that included the Wagon Hotel and the Jennie Wade house. Here is a photograph from 1865 taken at the bend in the Baltimore Pike looking north. On the left is the Wagon Hotel and the Wade house is obscured just behind the 2-story white house on the right. @Wallyfish, notice the brick sidewalk that you pointed out shows up clearly. The building on the left with the tall smoke stack was a tannery occupied by Confederate sharpshooters on Days 2 & 3 peppering at Union troops on Cemetery Hill. I am including a similar now view using google street view.
