It looks like, from the old Sanborn maps, you are right - nicely done! The house on the lot now is certainly ~1920s-1930s vintage, so I had assumed that it was original to that location- I wonder where it came from. It's a double-tiered mystery photo!

The 1950 map has an inset in the lower left hand corner that goes further east - I think it was map 43.
