The fact that there's a transmission tower in the photo – and one very close to the road at that – really convinces me that the farm in the photo is not located at Oberlin Avenue and Meister. There just aren't any towers in that area.
Besides, those towers tend to stay in the same place once they're constructed. They just don't disappear or suddenly get relocated.
What do I think? I think the tower in the vintage photo is still around – and either at the intersection of Oberlin and Tower Boulevard or Leavitt Road and Tower Boulevard.
Here's a look at each. Below is the intersection of Oberlin and Tower.
And here is the one at Leavitt Road and Tower (below).
What do you think?

I think you have a good point about the second tower being hidden by the tree. If you look closely you can faintly see the wires from the tower going in that direction, right toward the tree. Now if you can determine whose farm was at Leavitt and Tower and then find another photo of it, or an aerial photo, you may have a definitive answer!
Is that an Applebees on the left?
It sure is!
