Ensminger, Jefferson C. (1843-1912)

Description

Elevated view of the buildings of downtown Sanford, Florida. The photographer, Jefferson C.

A variety of personal dwellings and businesses can be seen in the photograph. Some of the businesses have store names like "Bookstore," "S. W.

At the top right corner of the image is a large building with a clock tower at the top, which is the Hotchkiss Building (built 1887), which is still standing today.
