This 1895 photograph shows homes along Hernando Street. The age of the image and the placement of the camera make this mystery especially difficult to solve. We do not see many details of the homes; however, it is possible other photographs exist showing this area of Hernando Street. If you recognize where these homes would be located today, let us know!
SOLVED!!
This mystery was also solved by Phoebe Moore, who consulted the 1907 Sanborn Map for the answer. From the map, she noticed, “it looks like there is only one brick residence that is set back from the street like that – it would be 161 Hernando. It’s on page 134 of Volume 2 of the 1897 map.” That would place our photographer near the coordinates: 35.136430, -90.051530.
