Dating of the current Kennedy Bakery Building[edit]

Here is part of the current text of the article, "He accumulated and developed property at the corner of Congress and Travis streets, though he lost these buildings to a fire in August 1860. He did not hesitate in rebuilding; however, it is only conjecture that the Kennedy Bakery is this 1860 building." This cites the NHRP nomination document, and I have used these sources in many NHRP articles for Wikipedia. But reading many of these nomination forms related to history subjects in which I am well versed, I do not think these are reliable historical sources. It is not conjecture that the original Kennedy Bakery at this approximate site burned. All but one building on the block burned in the August 1860 fire, and EVERY building burned that was on the southern block face. But this is original research, and I am not aware of any reliable secondary source which makes this clear. I know this from primary sources. I do not know what the remedy is here, but I know this part of the article is misleading. Oldsanfelipe2 (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, my dating of the current Kennedy Bakery Building is somewhere after the drawing of the 1873 Birdseye Map and before the field notes for the 1877 Sanborn Map. Oldsanfelipe2 (talk) 16:33, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
