The Windsor Hotel, torn down in the 1950's, had 500 rooms. Built in the 1880's it spread over an entire block on the west side of Hemming Park which today is the city's plaza. The thing I find really interesting about this shot is you can see the old Confederate soldier memorial. It still stands today facing south looking into its past rather than its future.
