I think your mystery "J" near [[Union Depot]] is the colored Mt. Zion Baptist Church. It is listed on both the 1885 and 1894 city directories as "Near Union Depot." '''[[User:Dcosson|dcosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 10:10, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
:Good to know about the LoC links; I thought that might be the case when I copy-pasted them, but then forgot to confirm. I think you're right about the "J". Also, I think the "Marine Hospital" (#7) may be unmarked; the directory shows a hospital at Zarragossa and Barcelona, but nothing else in the area.--[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:19, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
:Actually, I'm thinking "J" may be the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is right there on Belmont at Tarragona. (The "Colored Methodist" listed on the map seems to be the ''other'' African Methodist Episcopal [Zion] Church, which is on some little alleyway south of Garden.) The Mt. Zion Church may also be around the Union Depot, but I don't see how there could be two at that same intersection.--[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:39, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
While we're on maps, I just wanted to point out that we are missing #7 on the Wellge map. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 17:30, 6 December 2009 (CST)
:I still have no idea where that hospital is. Main Street didn't extend past Reus in 1885, so the 1896 location (Main at Devilliers) should be under water. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 08:10, 7 December 2009 (CST)
::Hrm. The 1885 city directory only has two entries under "Hospitals" ... "James S. Herron, M. D., prop., Zarragossa cor Barcelona," and "Pensacola Infirmary - Robert W. Hargis, M. D., Bayou Chico, western limits." Ugh. This is going to drive me crazy now. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 08:57, 7 December 2009 (CST)
:::The only references I can find to a "Marine Hospital" in that timeframe indicate it was at the Navy Yard or "near Fort Barrancas..." but I don't see anything marked with a number in the Navy Yard inset. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' </span> 09:18, 7 December 2009 (CST)
::::Maybe we can just use [http://redsarmy.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/difficulties.jpg this] as the #7 pic for now. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 10:05, 7 December 2009 (CST)
