Though we do not know the names of the people in this
group, we do know that this photograph was taken by commercial photographer E.H. Schlessman in the first quarter of
the twentieth century. The men, and one lady, are posed on the steps of the
Erie County Courthouse, prior to the 1930s Art Deco renovation. Most of the men
are in jackets and ties, and several are holding their hats. Many of the
gentlemen are wearing a small pin on their lapel, which may indicate membership
in a local fraternal organization. This
picture was taken in the same location as the ladies of the first jury of women in Erie County on
August 26, 1920.
