It's amazing to see the 1858 Masonic Building pretty much alone in the 1860 photograph.
(it's just to the right of the Merced Theater in the later photo) -fun stuff!

How long have you had this?
Can you put a larger version up?
The two photos together give a
much fuller idea of what was going on then. Totally thrilling :-)
Except for the new paint and extension on the Carrillo/Pico Adobe, they almost look like they were taken on the same day.
(I wish I had the skills to splice the two into a panorama)
That must be the Signoret Building at lower right. (You remember Judge Hayes, he granted Biddy Mason her freedom after Sheriff Barton served a writ on her scoundrel of an owner.)
Wow, I'm not going to sleep tonight.
