The Owens family of Fitzgerald operated a photography studio here for as long as I can remember, though it was built a residence (in the American Foursquare style). Before locating here, they had studios on Pine Street and in the lobby of the old Lee-Grant Hotel. They were involved in the business for much of the 20th century.  In the days before phone cameras and instant photography, having portraits made by Owens Studio was a rite of passage for many.
