APPENDIX HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS
A.l.
Forty photographs have been identified which depict the South Fork Fishing and
Hunting Club buildings and life on Lake Conemaugh during the 1880s. Most of these
were the work of Lewis Semple Clarke and have been made available by his
granddaughter, Virginia Cooper. Four additional photographs of that era have been
located in the collection of Alice Reed Tucker, James W. Brown's granddaughter; the
photographer has not been identified, but they might also be the work of Clarke.
Inaddition, threephotographs from theIrvingLondonCollection oftheJohnstownFlood
Museum Archives illustrate the Club site from across the lake, both before and after the
flood, and one shows the lakefront from the boardwalk before the flood. One view of
the empty lakebed was secured from the Pennsylvania State Archives, Perm Central
Railroad Collection. The two historic photographs of the Annex are from the collection
of the 1889 South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club Historical Preservation Society.
The historic photographs have been numbered in a series with numbers H-l through H-
46. Thirteen of the photographs have been included in the body of this Historic
Structures Report. The balance are included in this Appendix.
Supplementing the photographs of the site and buildings is an unnumbered series of
images of Club members. They are also included in this Appendix.

Cottage No. 1, looking southwest from below, c.1883-1889.
Photograph by Lewis Semple Clarke, from the Cooper Collection.
Cottage No. 1 is shown with an unidentifiable group on the porch. The second floor
shutters are closed, suggesting that the photograph might have been taken off
season. This cottage was destroyed by fire in the mid-twentieth century.
