#1 — Alamo Plaza

Photo crop exposure date: unknown. Exposure date (or window) of subject photo: 1890-1910. Street car stop. “CARS STOP HERE.” A common sign which has been misunderstood in later years to mean automobiles, however the sign indicated a streetcar stop and often gave reference to which lines and/or cars could be boarded at that location. The Hugo & Schmeltzer Building (1877) is present. The view is east from in front of the Crockett Block (1884). The block paving of the plaza (1890) is present. The Steves Auto Station Building built next to (south)of the Alamo Chapel in 1908 is not.
