[Gorgas worked solo until late 1850s. Gorgas & Mulvey are listed as partners from as early as 1860 through 1868. By 1871 Mulvey was no longer a partner]
Bryant operated in LaPorte from the 1860s (one article states 1863, another 1869) through the 1890s. I do not have the 17 E. Main St. address in my database.
VanSlyke is not in the database.
William M. Scott opened a studio in LaPorte in 1853 and the Scott Studio was sold to A. H. Hultgren in 1901.
