Written on back of photo: "Some of the Otton Boarding House 'boys' in front of Liberty Corner (S.W. corner of Guadalupe and 34th streets) waiting for a street car to carry them back 'downtown' (to Congress Ave. and 8th St.- the boarding house was at 119 W.8th across the street from the City Hall). During World War I, Liberty Corner was a favorite congregating place for the soldiers from Camp Mabry and where they quenched their thirst (with soda pop and near beer) while waiting for street cars."
