Featured in this lot is this original, Frank J. Haynes photo of Tombstone's County Court House in Tombstone, Arizona Territory in the late 1880s. Frank Jay Haynes, known as F.J. Haynes, F. Jay Haynes or the Professor to almost all who knew him, was a professional photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in documenting through photographs the settlement and early history of the great Northwest. The Tombstone Courthouse is one of Arizona's most recognizable buildings from the territorial period. Built in 1882, shortly after Cochise County was formed from Pima County, it represented the introduction of stable administration in a mining boomtown notorious for gunfights and saloons. The county chose Tombstone as its seat due to the town's rapid growth during the silver rush, and the courthouse was built in Victorian-style brick and wood, giving it a sense of permanency. Tombstone's courthouse enjoyed a brief heyday. By 1929, Bisbee had surpassed Tombstone in population and economic prominence, and the county seat was relocated there. The photo shows the court house in its former glory, standing tall and bold in the town. Three men sit on the front wall and look towards the photographer and the camera. The bottom of the photo is marked reading, "Tombstone City - Arizona. County Court House / Haynes, Tucson, A.T.". The photo shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. The photo measures 5 1/4" L x 8 1/2" W and weighs under 6 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona TTP33
