The newer Jefferson Medical College building fronts on Walnut Street at 1010. The building immediately behind it on 10th Street in the Shorpy photo is still there (also part of Jefferson now) as is the second one beyond that (corner of Chestnut Street - The Victory condos now, but occupied by New York Life Insurance Co. in 1909).
