[Police officers assembled in front of tent]

Photograph shows Police Chief John Stewart, Assistant Chief McLaren, and constables Heywood and Jackson T. Abray standing in front of a tent labelled "City Hall".
Although this photograph was originally dated June 1886 (shortly after the fire), information from a newspaper article, and from a dated billboard found in the background of the photograph, shows that the portrait was likely staged in early September of 1886.
