This photograph was taken prior to 1900 because the Standard newspaper building and the Commercial Hotel were burned down in that year. A photograph taken from the same angle and with the same buildings appears in "A Selection of Views from Palmerston North". This booklet appears to have been published in 1893 because it contains a photograph of the plans of Presbyterian Church "in the course of erection".
