No Dadrian, not in that area think west of there, it's on the bay.  airtommy our other avid detectives haven't weighed in yet.  I'll post a clue tomorrow if nobody gets it - or you can.

Don't mean to be rude, this isn't my question, but I'm going to interject my own clue:  That yellow building is gone today.  The nearby building still exists.  It looks blue-ish in this photo, but it isn't blue in the other photo, so I think that blue hue is just an illusion.

Must be Alton Road territory / "The Big Thaw" school area in Miami Beach ?!:D

Yes, IMO the building was roughly a block S of the school off Alton Rd. directly on the bay.  I also think the big building next to it is the building you see when the caddy pulls away from the Lab.  airtommy is the one who IDd the big building.

Yes, the big blue-ish building right next to our brick building is the Miami Beach Housing Authority.  We see it in the background in "The Big Thaw" when they are at the "Fountain of Youth":

I just don't get this photo.  The water tower is gone now but is easy to find at historicaerials.com . It's on the little triangular property at Alton Road & 1st Street.  But I just don't see a row of houses on the left side of a street leading to the water tower.

Ya I don't see the houses at http://www.historicaerials.com/

They don't look like Miami type houses either.  After the 1926 hurricane they didn't build many wooden houses that close to the shoreline.  Maybe it's a false front like they use to fake the main street in western movies?  But why would they bother?

Ok, I figured it out.  I kept looking at all the streets around the water tower and just couldn't find anything even remotely like the picture.  The problem is that I wasn't squinting hard enough.  The houses are gone in the nice clear 1986 aerial.  To see them you have to go to the 1980 aerial, but it is really fuzzy AND the company logo is right on top of the houses.

I don't know the answer, but I like this question.  Were those steps seen in the ep/scene in question?

Is it the safe house from "Free Verse"? (other episodes also)

Yay! Well done I had hoped that would stump a few of you - but no of course these steps were seen in "Free Verse" and the house was used in "Blood and Roses" also . It was "Free Verse" I was looking for 

The house is of course at 191 Ocean Bvld in Golden Beach with a nice view also of the Turnberry Isle Condo in Aventura seen in many episodes:done:
