Overall view of Hill City, SD taken from a hill top east of town, looking almost due west just a slight bit north of west.

Another ID used by local citizens which was built in 1894 is not in the pic, so it had to have been taken between 1892and 1894. At the far right, on top of the hill, with steps leading to it, is the Hill City School. The two story bldg. to the left and below the school, with the fancy front is the Miners Hall, owned by the Mine r's Equity Union and used for local events & dances.
