The recently completed Hibernia Bank Building with its distinctive cupola is at center of the photo. The soon to be demolished old neo-Gothic Masonic Building at St. Charles &amp; Perdido visible to the right and above the Hibernia building intact. Large building at lower right is DeSoto Hotel (now Le Pavillion); note how it fronted Baronne Street before the widening of Poydras Street.

A view of much of the same section of the city from an approximately reverse angle probably taken about the same time:
