CHICAGO: STORE, c1899. Chas. F. Gardner Electrician and Locksmith, an African American owned store at 2933 State Street in Chicago, Illinois. Photograph, c1899". This photograph captures a glimpse into the vibrant history of early 20th century Chicago. In the heart of the bustling city streets stands Chas. F. Gardner's store - a testament to entrepreneurship and resilience. Owned by an African American entrepreneur, this establishment on State Street served as both an electrician and locksmith shop during a time when opportunities for people of color were limited. The storefront proudly displays its name alongside other signs that beckon passersby with promises of expert service. The image showcases two men standing outside the store window, perhaps customers or employees engaged in conversation about their needs or aspirations. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot from the turn of the century – capturing not only a place but also human stories within it. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment where diversity thrived amidst adversity; where dreams were pursued against all odds; where one man's determination created space for his community to flourish. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection, let us celebrate Charles F. Gardner's legacy as an emblematic figure who defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on Chicago's rich tapestry.
