Miller Park Crane Collapse Photographs, 1999

Scope and Content Note

The loose photographs consist of nine 7½” x 9½” and six 2¾” x 4½” black and white photos of the front of houses. There are three 4½” x 6” black and white photos of the LeRoy Wendt & Associates showroom on N. 12th Street. The album contains 46 8” x 10” black and white photographs of the front façade of houses. Fifteen of those photographs (p. 32-46) duplicate the photos on the first 15 pages of the album. Page numbers were added to the back of the pages in the album to make the finding aid more useful. Because of the fragility of some of the larger photos, the decision was made in 2010 to put all the loose photos into individual acid-free folders to minimize the stress on the images when removing them from their enclosures. While the photos are undated, the period of 1935-1940 is when LeRoy Wendt & Associates was in business and when the photographs are most likely from.
