#1 — View across the plaza.

Photo crop exposure date: unknown. Exposure date (or window) of subject photo: 1886-1888. Subject: Alamo Plaza. Gallagher building (1877) is present, also the Menger Hotel (1859) extending north to the Carter & Mullaly Livery. Horse drawn street car on single track is present at the Post Office (Blum Street) bypass. The San Antonio Club and Grand Opera House (1886) and the Wickes building (1886) are present, although there appears to be a developmental defect causing a foreshortening effect marring the upper right corner of the photograph. View is SSE and elevated across the plaza, almost certainly taken from the Swearingen-McCraw (Maverick Bank) Building (1884). There is no evidence of either the plaza paving (1889) or the park landscaping projects(1889). Hand printed ascription.
