Men in Front of Stewart Drug Store
From Lewis University’s "H.H. Carter Collection" in CARLI Digital Collections.

H. H. (Harden Hasten) Carter was born April 6, 1875 in Franklin, Indiana. H. H. Carter was one of the first local photographers to use street photography, where people are captured going about their daily lives, rather than sitting in a formal pose. This collection consists of two types of materials: postcards and photographs (such as the image above).

The postcards of Lockport were produced in 1907 and are copyrighted by H. H. Carter, but there is no certainty that he took the pictures. The photographs were taken between 1910 and 1916. Much of the information in the description of each photo comes from the booklet Hail and Farewell 1935-1980, produced by the Civic and Commerce Association of Lockport.
