While out and about last weekend in New England, I stopped at a weekly Sunday morning flea market that I often go to in Massachusetts, where I picked up this circa 1870s-1890s cabinet card, which I found in a box full of various nineteenth and twentieth century documents and photography. The subject of the picture is what really caught my attention, seeing that the sign hanging on the building reads, "Glass Station Saloon."
As a result, I had to imagine while looking at this picture that there was some type of stoneware in this building at sometime; however, I also suspect that this is either a Midwestern or Western saloon, since the photographer's name, H.W. MACDONALD was printed on the back of the card as working on Kearney Street in San Francisco.
Furthermore, the image also includes three men, one woman, one conestoga wagon, one dog and some horses. This is certainly a really cool image, nonetheless!
Does anyone recognize where this saloon may have been located?
