"Below the Dam, Hobart, Ind.," it says. I think I see a smokestack peeking out at the right edge of the photo, but I'm not sure.

Well, if we can't identify the exact spot, can we identify the two fishermen?



… Nope.

But we can identify the photographer!



He was Charles R. Childs, a Chicago photographer who evidently did local pictures as well, so I have added him to my Notes on Local Photographers.

Postmark 1912.
