Tuesday, February 9, 2021
Picnooga/Chattanooga Historical Society has acquired the original glass plate negative attributed to the photographer A. A. Haskell of President Benjamin Harrison’s April 15, 1891 visit to Chattanooga.  Low-resolution and severely cropped copies of the image are in the Chattanooga Public Library and Tennessee State Archives collections.  
The glass negative was purchased in an estate sale in Massachusetts. It features a high-resolution view of President Harrison, his son and the postmaster-general.  Also present are prominent Chattanoogan’s, including Judge David M. Key, Capt. Charles A. Lyerly, T. G. Mountague, Charles E. James and Charles Whiteside aboard a string of decorated streetcars.  The scene is an expanded view of the bottom station of the steam-powered Incline No. 1. The Incline station was once located at 38th and Church Streets in St. Elmo and ran to the Point Hotel, located just below Point Lookout on Lookout Mountain.
