Time travel to Redding, California at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of a local enthusiast. Chester Mullen (1886-1958) a carpenter and amateur photographer based in Redding, CA. His photographs are a "significant visual documentation of the daily life of a small town over a span of about 50 years. [...] That he took so many photographs, literally thousands of images, would not be remarkable for a photographer today -- but then one realizes that he was doing this 75 years ago, when each photograph required an inordinate amount of effort." --Introduction.
