It sits between 6th St and Lake Howard Dr., which works out well with your brother's statement that "The property wained down the hill to Lake Howard." Your brother mentions that the Lakeland Ledger offices are on the site. In the picture below, the Ledger offices are in the white modern building on the right (as confirmed by the Polk County Property Appraiser). So, it appears back in the day, The Volcano had the whole parcel just north of the hotel, from 6th St back to Lake Howard Dr. How about sending this picture to your brother so he can confirm it for us? And tell him thanks helping out! We all drool over details like a "wall of falling water".
