Was the #4 photo, THE "George Teter" of the HCCA club?

Re: Better luck next time.
Thank you, Scott!
I will have to look through my HCCA Gazettes, and see if I can find mention of him. One of our long deceased HCCA local chapter members used to talk about him amidst very interesting stories. I wonder if THIS IS ACTULLY the George Teter I am thinking about.

Scott, I saw that location, but the building sign says established 1903, which is before the photo and unfortunately, it does not match.

Re: Better luck next time.
LLoyds of London was established in 1688. What if they put "established in 1688" on a new building? A logo means nothing. FWIW, I can't tell if it's the same building horrifically remodeled or if it's a different one., but the fact is, based on multiple sources of documentation, that this photo was taken in Sault Sainte Marie.

Re: Better luck next time.
Well, the address of the "Est. 1903" building is also 200. It seems that 208 is now a parking lot. Nonetheless, that's the site of the photo... regardless of when it was taken.
