Foundation of Capitol Building

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

    Built with convict labor. A few feet taller than the nation's capitol, of course. They made sure of that, the arrogant Texans, ha ha. Pink granite from Llano county and marble from Marble Falls was brought in on tracks made for the purpose, tracks that now carry commuters into the city center. from suburban communities that were, when this photo taken, only recently safe from Commanche and Apache depredations.

    A couple of the horses at the back are a bit camera shy too. I love how photos of the public in this period attract such attention from the people.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Gorman_Coach_Builders#Glass_negat... Have a look at the O'Gorman Coach Builders page on Wikipedia - it mentions flickr and the NLI In April 1922 and April 1934, high quality 'Glass negative' photographs, were taken by A H Poole & Co. In 2012, some were placed on the internet by the National Library of Ireland (NLI).[5] They are of vehicles being built at Prior Park garage and the shop front in Parnell Street. They include a picture of J.F.O'Gorman, the directors, workers, the factory premises, Prior Park house and various machinery in the workshop. These photographs are also on Flickr and have created a renewed interest in the business operation.[6][7][8]

    Conor1970 I've noticed a weird phenomenon that early tram and omnibus passengers seemed camera shy also. It turns up in a lot of our photos, though of course not all of them come to mind now that I need to remember them to show you, but along the lines of this one!

    HI T2 this registration is out of the normal format for Ireland? Tipperary South Riding CC: HI then GI HI 1 to HI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Sep 1954).
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 All publicity is good publicity! Would imagine that was Desktop 123 who did a lot of work and contributed a ton of information on the O'Gorman family and their operation? I'd be delighted that any photos we post here create "renewed interest" in all sorts of places, people, dogs...

    The Austin Cambridge ZIK 382 must be Mr O'Dea's car ! That's the fourth view recently, but not all the same model.

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia I am sure that the registration number stayed with the car and that it was not transferable.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons The 'Irish House' Austin Cambridge (a newer model WZD 790) may just be a serendipitous coincidence. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/17383577586/
