Tonopah,NV - Nye County - 1902 - Stage from Progress Bakery Photograph :
Pete Fabbi poses in front of his Progress Bakery Stage. Photograph measures 7"x5", black single matte 9"x7", medium to high contrast--tends toward the whites, and focus is sharp. Bakery name can be read clearly. There is a tear on the upper right part of the photo. There is also a dent on the lower left. The Mizpah Grill can be seen in the background. The Progress bakery was located on Water Street. On the reverse "First Bakery in Tonopah" is written in pencil. Date not verified, but Pete Fabbi, Baker in Tonopah appears in Polk's, 1914-15. If the 1902 date, which is written in pencil on the back, is correct, then this is an early photograph. 1902 was when Tonopah mining operations really began to produce.
