city was granted its charter from the State of Virginia in 1890. Inset
illustrations include the Buena Vista Company's Office, the new Public
School, opened in 1890 and the Hotel Buena Vista, completed in 1891, later
to become the Main Hall for Southern Seminary College. The Buena Vista
Basic Steel Works and an unnamed church are also featured illustrations,
along with an inset map depicting the Railroad Facilities of Buena Vista. Referenced places are
