Looking northeast from one of the triangular fenced areas south of the Supreme Court building in Tinubu Square. The building at the left is the Supreme Court building. The shop in the background is "Renwicks' Dye Works"; the two-story building in the center is the Casa do Fernandez [later the Olaiya House, still later the Ilojo Bar ; built 1855, demolished 2016]) where Alli Street meets the Square; a fallen sign says "No entry except on court business"
