Christ Church shown on the right, opened in 1879.

Missing from this image is the Church of the Immaculate Conception which opened in 1895. The official 1896 date-stamp probably refers to the publishing/printing date of the postcard. The original photograph was captured sometime between 1880 and 1892.
