Arnold Studio photographs
Arnold Studio (Walla Walla, Wash.)
WCMss.068
4.8 linear feet
9 boxes
1925-1944
This collection contains images created by the Arnold Studio showing buildings and street, harvest, and snow scenes in Walla Walla, Washington, as well as scenes on the Whitman College campus.
Collection is open for research.
The provenance is unknown for the majority of the collection, but known contributors included Boyd DeBunce, Judge Ralph Phipps Edgerton, and the Walla Walla Public Library. The accession numbers associated with those contributors are retro-0256, retro-0270, and 2017-08.
John J. Arnold was born in 1879 in Michigan. He was married to Florence B. Chase. They operated the Arnold Studio which first opened in the late 1910s. Arnold died in 1942 and Florence continued to run the studio until it was purchased in 1944 by Boyd DeBunce.
In 2019, the folders were put in alphabetical order and rehoused for stabilization.
This collection consists of images showing street, harvest, and snow scenes and buildings in Walla Walla, Washington, as well as scenes on the Whitman College campus. Photographs of the Whitman Centennial and Pendleton Round-up are included. The collection also contains a photograph album that was sent to Washington, D.C. to document need for the Mill Creek Project following the 1931 Walla Walla flood.
