Only three addresses have been found for the S B Hill studio in
Austin, TX: 817 Congress, 1879 through 1885; 915 Congress 1885 through
January of 1906 and then briefly, 104 East tenth. If a cabinet card is
imprinted with the address, a date can be established easily.
It appears that Sam Hill switched officially from photography to real
estate sometime between 1909 and 1910. But that is possibly only
partly true. It is quite possible that he kept the studio at 104 East
10th in name only, operated by another photographer, although no
advertisements have been found to support this.

At the right is an unusual example. It has been trimmed at the bottom
as some cabinet cards are done so they fit into the album pockets
easier. But this one was imprinted upside down AND after the
photo print was mounted to the card.
