Mystery Photograph

Where was this photo taken? It may well have been one that Dr. Horace Wrinch took with his glass slide camera—it is in his collection and he was taking photographs when he arrived in Hazelton, B.C. in 1900. If so, this would date the photograph to about 1900–1904, when he appears to have moved to a more modern camera. The “S” suggests it was a Salvation Army Church. Could this be the inside of the new church at Glen Vowell, a few miles up the Skeena River from Hazelton, BC. Glen Vowell was established as a Salvation Army village after a row with the Methodists at Kispiox. However, it could be easily be somewhere else. Ideas? (Photo: my own collection)
