Cabinet Card by E. E. Mangold, Moline, Illinois. 1880's I'm guessing.
Elmer Ellsworth Mangold was born in DuQuoin, Perry County, Illinois, August 18, 1862. He first married Emillie E. Witter, who was born in Iowa in 1866. They were married December 1, 1884. They were living in the Rock Island/Moline area until after 1900. The 1900 census lists Elmer as a Photographer and Emillie as a "Retoucher". Living in 3rd Ward, Rock Island, Rock Island County, Illinois. His studio may well have been in Moline. By 1906, Elmer and Emillie are divorced and he is has married a new wife, Maud Irene Case. They are living in South Bend, Indiana, where Elmer is still working as a photographer. He is still listed as a photographer in South Bend in the 1920 census. Elmer E. Mangold died in South Bend, Indiana in 1945.

While waiting on CP 2816 to move, I was alerted that CRSI was headed through Davenport and waiting to cross the Government Bridge into Illinois. I quickly booked it to this locale, and arrived just in time to get my shot.

Good 1940 of art deco numerals.

We are expected to comprehend immediately and subconsciously that "1528" is a street address and "1940" is a year. Is that expectation fair?

"The building was not designed to the tastes of adults as I understand them," I camped. I was kidding, intending to comically insult the condobuyers without them hearing. "Omg would you look at those creamsicle-colored porchtops, and those toothpaste-colored semicircular arches. Is this a dang kindergarten."

To say the building is funny-looking does not mean I would not like to be given one of the condos, probably.
