William Henry Stevens: Store



The picture above is of the sporting goods store run by my 2nd great grandfather William Henry Stevens.  He is standing in the doorway of the store with his 4 children to his left (the youngest is my great grandfather George Earl Stevens).  The store was located on 25th Street in Ogden, Utah.

Guessing at the ages of the children from the picture, I would guess this photo was taken around 1885.

I'm not sure how prevalent photography was at this time but all the bystanders seem fascinated by the camera.
