LANSINGIOWA.ORG

This site has been created to share a collection of photos that were taken in and around Lansing, Iowa. The photos were taken from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, by a photographer who established a studio on Main Street, Lansing and later another photographer who took over his business. The photographers' work was rediscovered in the attic of a building that had served as the studio. The prints you see on this site were made from glass negatives that miraculously survived the elements, a fire that gutted the building, and the water used to extinguish it... There are many more negatives that have yet to be reprinted. We hope to add them to the site soon so please return often to see new additions.
