Studio located at 748 Valparaiso Street, known as Calumet Avenue today. Exact years are unknown, but some real photo postcards indicate 1912 and 1913. Studio is at the same location as Joseph Marion Harkless' studio in the 1890s and 1900. Lawson likely purchased the business after Harkless' death in 1909.
