Cabinet shop of I. L. Smith & Sons

Title

Cabinet shop of I. L. Smith & Sons

Description

Employees and family standing outside Irwin L. Smith's cabinet shop in Forest Grove, a large wooden structure. The employees are shown with examples of their products, doors and cabinetry. The family, children and a baby, are seen further in the back. A water tower and horse-drawn wagon are also included in the photo. This photograph was probably created in the 1880s or early 1890s; it resembles others taken locally in the early 1880s by the I. G. Davidson Studio, and may be their work.
