| The building was located on what was later West 2nd Street between Robertson Avenue and the Nemadji River, near the natural dock used by early schooners. Following is a quote from Harry Ashton: "The man in the doorway is John C. Wise. The gentleman reading the newspaper is D. George Morrison. The gentleman leaning up against the fence is Washington Ashton, the man who owned the newspaper and also associated with him was John C. Wise. The man with the cap on is James Ritchie. The man with the hat on is Richard Relf, and the dog appearing in the picture belongs to James Ritchie." The image is a lithograph after the painting by Eastman Johnson. |
