Photo crop exposure date: unknown.Exposure date (or window) of subject photo: ca. 1877Subject: Photo crop of Main Plaza. View is SSE, taken from a point in the plaza, showing the buildings at the intersection of Dolorosa, Dwyer and Main Plaza with a framing and focus on the French Building (1858) which through the years housed both the City Council (and police headquarters), County and District Courts and the Headquarters of both the Federal and Confederate armies. When the building was razed in 1927, a new building was constructed on the site and again the police headquarters moved in. The photograph is dated due to A. Hinchman being listed in the 1877 city directory as being the “Gen’l agent for wagons. carriages and wagon supplies, cor. of Dwyer and Main Plaza.”
