Description
The factory at Victor Petertyl's wagonworks located at 124 State St., Traverse
City, Michigan. It shows an unidentified man working with a saw. Probably taken in June 1899.
Victor Petertyl (ca 1857-1935) sitting at his desk in his office at 124 State Street, the location of the Victor Petertyl's wagonworks. Based on the calendar on the wall, it appears that the photo was taken in June of 1905.
Ruins of the Victor Petertyl's Wagon Shop located at 124 State Street which burned on the evening of September 23, 1903 (per Evening Record). Victor Petertyl is identified as sitting in the center. The date of September 20 is also written which is obviously incorrect since the fire didn't occur until the 23rd.
