Moin moin (=Hello) from Hamburg,
Hamburg is one of the few German cities that had been completely photographed by Google Street View, so you can have a look at how some places mentioned in letters and so on look like today. In this case http://maps.google.de/maps?q=Feldstra%DFe+49
Also there’s a website that hosts (?) a vast amount of historical Hamburg photos which may be useful to you:

Liebe Grüße, Andi
Wow, Andi. This is great. I really hope to visit Hamburg soon. I am in the process of applying for my German citizenship, so hopefully soon!
Best,
Jeremy
