The One That Got Away

Please read post “Update to the Update” below this one.

    Below is a “new” photograph of the Allegheny Bible House family from 1907.

     This article is captioned “The one that got away” because this photograph was not included in the book The Bible House that was published back in the autumn.

     To read or re-read a review of that book, please check this older blog post.

     The new photograph has only come to light since the book’s publication and will now be included in future editions.

     There is a famous photograph of the workers at Bible House, in the street outside the entrance, which dates from 1907. This interior shot was taken around the same time because it includes most of the same people. Missing from the photograph are CTR, his sister Margaret Land and also J A Bohnet. The photograph includes Francis Winter who died on 11 January 1908. This helps to narrow down the time the picture was taken.

     It was taken in the Bible House parlor. Below is a colorized photograph of the parlor.

     Below again is the newly discovered group photograph in the parlor, now colorized and with the names of the people, where known, added below. (You may have to click on the photograph to enlarge it to see all the  details).

     With grateful thanks to Bernhard who supplied all the photographs and information for this article.
