Additional Description: Note the similarity between the Roesch building depicted here in the lithograph (of a watercolor) and as depicted on the marker (Photo No. 4), particularly the perspective, the smoke, and the placement of the animals and trolleys. One peculiar difference is visible at the top of the buildings - the marker's version dates the building at 1879, while the lithograph's versions dates it at 1906.
