<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 7405, member: 33&quot;]Pat, </p><p>My previous 2 posts may not have made clear that J. Augustus Randel was in business with his father-in-law George G. Rockwood.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t mention that I had found a much earlier notice in a magazine or newspaper about a &quot;Brooklyn Bridge&quot; studio for George Rockwell (across from city hall, it said).&nbsp; This notice was from the 1870s, I think.&nbsp; The notice was placed by Mr. Rockwell and said that the studio was being run by J. Augustus Randel and one other person.&nbsp; So everything Randel was doing was sanctioned by his father-in-law.&nbsp; And I believe that the Amsterdam Ave. studio was in existence before 1911, when George Rockwell died.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for confirming where Washington Heights is!&nbsp; That other logo I found was probably just an alternative to the one in my photo, from the same studio.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
