This photo was taken shortly after the April 11, 1869 fire that devastated Hancock. At the far right is St. Anne's Catholic Church on the northeast corner of Quincy and Ravine Streets. The rectory and school are behind the church. Following the fence around to Franklin Street, the good-sized building near the center of the image housed the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Louis (MO) Province, who served in the parish. MS042-042-999-T-395 is another glass plate of this image.
