The man in this photo is standing at the corner of Marine Street and Artillery Lane which today would be right across the street from the city pier. If the large house on the left looks familiar, it's the Worth house which was the home of General William J. Worth's wife until her death. The building was later torn down and rebuilt across the street on what is now the point where Marine Street splits off from Avenida Menendez. It is now home to O. C. White's Restaurant.
