Biographyof Park City, was a pioneer-generation painter, photographer, and printmaker. Originally, Adams was a farmer in Goshen, Indiana; a photographer's assistant there; a partner in Adams Bros. Photographers, Ogden and Park City; a building contractor; and a freelance landscape painter who produced a number of fine still-life works. Adams was also commissioned on occasion to do "formal portraits." Unlike most of his colleagues in Utah, this artist was a member of the Christian Science Church. In Salt Lake City, the artist had a home on "G" Street in the "Avenues" but eventually moved into a small Spanish bungalow at 2269 McClelland Street in the Sugarhouse area. He called this second and much cherished place "Lawnbroke." (b. March 10; d. June29)
