From the Border Cities Era June 7, 1919:
View of Randolph avenue in Sandwich, showing construction work on 20 homes that are being erected by the Border Cities Builders, Limited, recently incorporated with a capital of $40,000. Randolph avenue is located in the choice residential section that embraces the rapidly growing district between Windsor and Sandwich, getting closer together all the time. Randolph avenue is paved and boasts some lovely homes. Near the new homes shown above the town of Sandwich is building as $60,000 school on the same style as the General Brock school.
John G. Coleridge is president of Border Cities Builders, Limited, Adair Smith of the D.M. Ferry Co., is vice-president and E.E. Longnecker secretary-treasurer.

The houses on the right look like Fanchette which does not go thru to Rankin which indicates this is a southward facing view. The old city directories might be helpful. I don't think Randolph went very far south in 1919.
