Photograph
Glaziers Local 188 at Standard Furniture Building, Seattle, circa 1905
Order an ImageOtto Langstaff (1883-1969) was a amateur photographer and a long time member of the United Glass Union 188. Either Otto or his brother Clarence photographed the union members standing with their banner, probably ready for a parade in downtown Seattle. Glaziers are skilled tradesman responsible for cutting, installing, and removing glass.
The brothers Clarence R. and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence (1880-1941) worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto (1883-1969) worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union #188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera.
