This property is commonly referred to as "The Point". It was purchased by Carroll Halliday, founder of Carroll Halliday Inc., the Ford dealer in Washington C.H. in 1945.

I'm pretty sure this is the intersection in front of Kroger. Highland, Court and Leesburg.

Dennis & Kyler, you are correct; even though nothing is left on "The Point," the two pair of stairs in the upper left confirm this is the location you are describing!
