Hello hk....

That's very helpful!

My conclusive analysis of the location, as by line-of-sight, is site C. The houses' view are largely blocked by house D and  house A  is fairly easy to see. And the rooftop bell tower lookalike seemed to be there in the moddsey photo.

My assumptions are:

  1. Before the construction of the Assembly Hall, the lot already had house #12 with excessive unused area in the south.
  2. The newspaper photo of the Assembly Hall did not capture house#12 because it was rightly hidden from the camera.
  3. My memory of the ruin could be a totally different building elected on the same or other nearby lot.

    Cheers
