If you look closely in your detail image, and are a bit persistent, you can make out the J.W. Robinson Mansion (1887) lurking in the haze. If you follow the fence line that sits atop the cliff running west away from Mary Hollister Banning's carriage house it (the light colored fence) runs into the Robinson Mansion (a darkish structure with a light colored beltline at the eaves). While it addressed on Teed Street, Teed 'Street' was never an actual street but more just a set-aside on maps of the period and here it appears as little more than a fence line below the mansion. Access to the house was from Hill Street. Fun image.
Also we have a good portion of the old pioneer's cemetery in the tree filled area - best look ever of it's easternmost half....Wouldn't it be great if this was a Tif file image that could be enlarged much more----
