User Comments:
• There are a lot of late-1880s elements of Hancock seen here but none that I can find from the late-1890s or early-1900s, so the about 1896" date seems accurate. Not long after this photo was taken the Mineral Range depot seen in the middle of the image at the base of Tezcuco Street was moved northwest to what is now Depot Street."
