It seems to me that Social Service Center might have been a buff brick building.

This is probably how Dallas remembers it, as seen in 1963.

If'n you were traveling about in western Missouri in the early 1900s, and you arrived at Ravenswood Station, where would you be? Please give your answer with current location names.

You would be at a MoPac station about half a mile west of the Truman Station. That should make it around Scott Ave and 17th Street.
