Military Plaza

Photo crop exposure date: unknown.
Exposure date (or window) of subject photo: ca. 1885
Subject: Photo crop of Military Plaza. View is NNW, almost certainly from the Southern Hotel, showing “Chile Queen” tables and market activity. Of note is that the draft animals are left standing in harness across the plaza. The smell, not to mention the sights, must have been interesting to the chili customer.
