of  Lourdes  at  the  comer  of  Cooper  and  Kelly  Sts.  It  was  erected  about  1885  and 
was  a convent  for  years.  Later  it  was  converted  into  the  Silver  City  General  Hospital.  One  of  Silver 
City’s  public  school  buildings  now  stands  at  this  site.  . . Picture  courtesy  Mrs.  E.  W.  Ward.

This  picture  of  Silver  City  was  taken  in  about  1885.  Streets  shown  are,  from  left:  Bullard,  Main  and 
Hudson.  The  railroad  tracks  crossed  lower  Main  St.  on  a trestle  and  curved  up  Hudson  St.  and  extended 
beyond  the  old  Exchange  Hotel,  the  Timmer  House  and  Southern  Hotel.  A sign  on  a building  near  the 
south  end  of  Bullard  St.  reads:  L.  D.  Miller,  Village  Blacksmith  (just  to  the  left  of  the  windmill).  A sign 
on  the  south  wall  of  a building  on  the  east  side  and  fronting  on  Main  St.  (just  left  of  the  Timmer 
House)  reads  Silver  City  Clothing  Store.  The  new  public  school  building  stands  out  prominently  at  the 
extreme  left.  It  was  erected  in  1882.  Note  that  only  the  south  end  of  Main  and  Hudson  Sts.  have  been 
washed  to  arroyo  proportions.  . . Picture  by  Lucas,  courtesy  Mrs.  E.  W.  Ward.
