William D. Sands Photograph Collection, circa 1900-1930s (R1291)
0.05 cubic foot (1 folder, 3 photographs)
This collection consists of three black and white photographs loaned for copying. Two images show the historic building that now houses Sands Farm and Home Center at 107 East 6th Street in Rolla. The earliest image, circa 1900, shows two unidentified workmen in front of the blacksmith shop. The second image is a "real photo" postcard, circa 1908, also featuring the blacksmith shop. It shows one of the same workmen from the earlier view, two unknown men, and an extremely tall man in an apron. The third photograph
is a birds-eye view of Rolla, circa 1930, showing downtown Rolla from the railroad tracks looking southwest long West 7th Street. This photograph is attributed to I. J. Baumgardner, a Rolla photographer active from 1912 to 1941.

Language in Finding Aids
The State Historical Society of Missouri collects materials documenting all aspects of Missouri history. Some of our paper and digital collections as well as older finding aids may include harmful or outdated language and could be considered offensive. SHSMO does not censor its collections, but we endeavor to be accurate and inclusive in how we describe them.
We are committed to revising and updating our descriptive language; however, with thousands of finding aids, this is ongoing and will take time. When processing new collections, we will occasionally re-use language provided by creators and former owners of the collection because it provides important context about the materials or appears in the formal names of organizations or titles of materials in the collection. In all finding aids, archivists work to contextualize the contents of manuscript collections.
