Note

Notes: This print is made from a 4" x 5" glass-plate negative. The identity of the original photographer is unknown. The glass-plate negative was part of the "Herb Reynolds Collection of Old Door County Photographs - Reynolds Art Studio Glass Plates". Herb Reynolds was a Sturgeon Bay photographer for many years. After his death, ownership was transfered to Chan Harris, who donated the glass-plate negatives to the Door County Archives Committee in Jan. of 1989. This is a computer generated print scanned from the related glass negative. Status: OK
