Sorry, Wellington Chase's middle initial was A, not F. A book entitled "A Pictorial History of St. Paul's Anglican Church" has two of his photographs: PL. XIII : Wellington A. Chase, Barrington Street, looking North, ca. 1860(?). PL. XV : Wellington A. Chase, View of the Chancel of St. Paul's, 1859(?) - 1868. http://tunspress.architectureandplanning.dal.ca/books/stpaul_toc_book.shtml -----Original Message----- From: Linda Chase [mailto:lchase@telusplanet.net] Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 10:25 AM To: CHASE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Wellington Chase, photographer from USA, living in Nova Scotia in 1866 I have come across several refernces to Wellington F. Chase Does anyone know who he was? Halifax Citizen, Thursday, April 26, 1866 LIFE SIZE PHOTOGRAPHS. -- W. Chase, No. 159 Hollis Street, opposite Club House, Halifax, has now in use at his Gallery the latest and most approved Solar Camera in the city of Halifax for enlarging all styles of small pictures. Those having Daguerrotypes, Ambrotypes, and Photographs of their deceased friends and relatives can have them enlarged up to life size, and furnished at a lower price than at any other gallery. Mr. C.'s experience in Photography enables him to give the public a more artistic style of work than can be obtained elsewhere in the city. Because of the following, reference, I assume W. Chase was Wellington Chase. He may be connected to W. F. Chase or H. N. Chase who were also living in Halifaz at the time.
