George Friday's Shop and House c 1896 (Lot 28)
Board member George Friday was an innovative entrepreneur with a wide range of interests and businesses. He owned and trained race horses, made brooms, and invented a horseless carriage headlamp that turned with the wheels so "you could always see what was in front of you." He operated his own shop and made his own tools and machines as he needed them. He had a physical disability which he partially corrected by making his own shoe with a built-up platform.
