<nowiki>#</nowiki>32 is mislabelled as the "I. M. Hilliard" carriage factory, when it is in fact the [[J. M. Hilliard Carriage Company]]. Our article for that places it at 30 East Garden which would place it on the north side of Garden between Palafox and Brue, but I can't see any numbers on that area of the map. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 12:12, 6 December 2009 (CST)
:Maybe it's the building on the south side of Garden, with the smoke stack in rear? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 13:11, 6 December 2009 (CST)
::Maybe. The source of the 30 East Garden Street address is the ad depicted on our [[J. M. Hilliard Carriage Company]] article. The even-numbered address indicates a building on the north side of Garden. For instance, Reynalds Music House [http://www.reynaldsmusichouse.com/] is 36 East Garden. 30 East Garden would be in the middle of the Jefferson Street extension. Of course, that ad with that address is from 1897, it's possible it moved between 1896 and 1897 but probably not. Alternately, it's possible that the 30 East Garden address from the ad was simply an office and the actual factory was elsewhere. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 13:19, 6 December 2009 (CST)
<nowiki>#</nowiki>57 is marked on Main Street about an inch to the right of #58. It refers to the structure on the NE corner of Main and de Villiers. I've seen the hospital marked in that position on a Sanborn map. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 12:16, 6 December 2009 (CST)
