OriginalSource: Manufacturing and Mercantile Resources of Indianapolis, 1883, p. 472: George Wilson, "Sunbeam" Photograph Gallery, No. 36 E. Washington St. Mr. Wilson commenced business in this city as a photographer as early as 1868 in an old frame building on the site of his present art gallery, and from that time with the exception of three or four years has devoted his attention to this special branch of industrial art and at the same location. After the erection of the fine building in which the business is now conducted, Mr. Dun opened the gallery, and was succeeded by Mr. Wilson in 1879, who now occupies two entire floors, each 22x120 ft. in dimensions, for reception parlors, art gallery toilet rooms, operating and dark rooms, finishing and painting departments, etc., practicing photograph in all its branches, taking portraits in every style from the samllest gem tintype to life size pictures, finished as desired in India ink, oil, crayon or pastille in the highest style of the art. Previous to becoming a resident of Indianapolis he held position of postmaster at Attica from 1860 to 1867, and after his removal to this city was appointed to a responsible position in the Indianapolis postoffice under Messrs. Rose and Holloway, which he retained for seven years, being at the same time proprietor of the gallery, with a competent manager in charge.
