Private Tebbs' Home?

I found Private Tebbs' address (2587 Montgomery) in his obituary a few months ago. Today, I toured his old neighborhood, which lies just northwest of downtown St. Louis. At first, I thought for sure that this was Tebbs' home, but upon further investigation, I am afraid that his home might have been situated just to the left of this one which is now a vacant lot. Most of this neighborhood, which is known as the St. Louis Place Neighborhood is gone, with only a few occupied or remaining homes here and there. Now my quest is to somehow find a photo of the home before it was destroyed.
