Description
This is a photograph of the Lacey Building, taken in 1885. It was named after its owner, Congressman John F. Lacey, a prominent attorney, legislator, and Civil War veteran. The building was at 105 High Avenue West and housed Willard and Weeks Wholesale and Retail Dry Goods and Notions. The reason why the building was draped in black during this particular picture was because it was to honor former President Ulysses S. Grant, who passed away that day.
