This view shows the directors' lunch room at the offices of H. Walker & Sons in Walkerville, Ontario, a community built around the distillery Hiram Walker established in the 1850s on the Detroit River, across from Detroit. The company grew into one of North America's major whisky makers, and Walkerville developed as a company town shaped by its founder's business. The Detroit Publishing Company made this 8 x 10 inch glass negative between 1900 and 1915, and its interior shot offers a glimpse of how company leaders dined and met during that era.
