Description: On pages 40 and 41 of A. F. Weaver's book, "TIME WAS In Mineral Wells", are three photos arranged to create the "Earliest known panoramic view of Mineral Wells around 1882." This is the middle photo, and includes the center of downtown Mineral Wells today. The photo was taken from East Mountain looking to the southwest. The large white two story building at the left center of the picture is on W. Hubbard St., at the site (later) of the Southern Hotel. The building at the far left edge of the picture was on the site of the current Mineral Wells Fire and Police Departments in the 200 block of S. Oak Ave. The center of Mineral Wells' Business Distrct is now the intersection of Oak Ave. (US 281) and Hubbard St. (Us 180).
