Unfortunately, there is now a fence just the left of where I was standing to take my shot.  The fence prevented me from moving into the position I would need to be in to duplicate the original shot.  Close enough.

Too bad about that billboard on the roof; it prevents the visibility of the water tank, which is visible in the 1952 photo and still in place.
