Notes
Although the location of the building in this undated drawing is not known it can be identified by its inscriptions as a bank. The building, which is roughly 22 feet wide and 27 feet deep, has a 'strong room', 'superintendent's desk' and counters, as well as an area 'for the public', all of which suggests its function.
