Railroad Competition Mystery

Ok people. I’m stumped. I THINK, this may be at the corner of DeSiard and South Grand streets. I bought this off of Ebay the day before Thanksgiving and I’ve been stumped ever since. The problem with it being South Grand and Desiard, is the one story building immediately to the left in the image. If that is where Bry Park is now, there should be a two story building on the site! The big building in the background looks like the Meyer brothers warehouse, which was on the corner of Grammont and South Grand. Then again, lets say the building on the far right is the site of Bry park and we are looking at it with your back to Endom bridge. You would be looking up DeSiard. I’m stumped! Any clues? The wagon looks to be hauling bales of cotton.
