Carnahan, Paul

Montpelier businessman Lewis Bartlett Cross, his chauffeur, daughter Carrie, and an unidentified woman pose in a 1911 Cadillac touring car in front of their 39 School Street home. L. Bart, as he was known, was the son of the founder of C.H. Cross & Son Baking Company. The younger Cross sold the company in 1908 but remained active in business and civic affairs of the city until his death in 1915. The family’s house still stands, although the expansive front porch has been removed and shutters have been added.
