W. E. Lamneck Co., also known as The Daylight Plant, 1918

  • jamica1 said:
    Called so because it was designed to use natural daylight as illumination in the plant? (And for a treat see page 14 of the same magazine -- an amazing piece of cultural history.)
  • UA Archives | Upper Arlington History said:
    Yes, exactly! :) An article about the Daylight Plant in the Norwester magazine describes it as "containing 33,000 square feet of Columbus sunshine and fresh air." Glad you're enjoying the collection!

    "Baker Art Gallery was the most prominent photography studio in Columbus, Ohio for over eighty years. The studio was founded by Lorenzo Marvin Baker. He began his photography career in the 1860s. His studio was located in different locations on High Street in downtown Columbus. In 1886 the studio became known as Bakers Art Gallery or Baker Art Gallery and his son Duane joined the business. Four generations of the Baker family operated the studio until 1955. After the studio closed Mrs. Lorenzo P. Baker donated a large collection of negatives and photographs from the studio to the Ohio Historical Society." www.ohiohistory.org/learn/collections/history/history-blo...
