• I'm reasonably certain that this is Trinity Episcopal Church in Houghton and that the image (scan) is reversed. The building was framed in Hancock then was moved to the corner of Montezuma and Pewabic in 1861. It served the Houghton community until ca. 1906. A newer Trinity Episcopal Church, opened in 1910, remains on the site to this day. See No Neg 2006-02-03-002 for comparison. Additional images exist of the early TEC in Houghton that match this structure and fence line.

• This is a rare picture. This church was located on Mine St in Hecla location. Most early Scandinavian and Finnish immigrants to the Calumet area worshiped in this church until they had enough ethnic members of their own to warrant a separate building.
