Note:In Tula's hand on the back: "City Hall soon after the old fire bell was removed off the roof in January 1973."

Note:The gray 1000-pound cast iron bell, purchased by the City of San Marcos around 1890, was relocated in front of the present City Hall at 630 E. Hopkins Street in 2001 for the Sesquicentennial Celebration. For 58 years, from 1915-1973, the bell rang from a tower above the old City Hall and Fire Station at 224 Guadalupe Street. It was taken down in 1973 because of concern for the structural integrity of the tower.
