Maybe, I can't find any "City Hall" on the 1897 Sanborn map. Hey, just out of curiosity, the item you are identifying as #44½, where is that on the Koch map? ~~~~
:::::OK this is weird. The 1903 Sanborn map indicates that City Hall is housed in a building on the SW corner of Zaragoza and Jefferson, immediately south of [[17 East Zaragoza Street]], which the Sanborn map labels as a cigar factory ... HOWEVER, the 1897 Sanborn map identifies 17 East Zaragoza as occupied by the Germania fire company and labels the building to the south as "City Court, Police & Jail." The building which I identified as a possible #44 on the image to the right is just labelled "Cigar Fac." in the 1897 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> 15:52, 6 December 2009 (CST)
::::::I just noticed that too. Our info shows City Hall was in that 405 South Jefferson Street building south of the Germania bldg from 1900-1908, which is consistent with the fire maps. But now that I look at the Koch map again, there does seem to be a faint "44" on that building, which means maybe city hall was moved there before 1900? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 16:05, 6 December 2009 (CST)
