I am interested in this person as his name and city/state was printed on an undated photograph of my grandmother. This helps narrow down the time frame of when the photo may have been taken. Does the census index also show him at the Exchange Street address where his photography shop was?

Hi Christine, I was hoping Isadore would have been listed on the census at his photography studio, the Exchange Street address. Thanks for the information from the city directory. That does help tremendously! I greatly appreciate your help.
