Conwell Studio Collection

The Conwell Studio was established in 1913 by Ethel Bryce Conwell (1893-1981)—an Altus native and daughter of pioneers from Georgia who settled just outside of town in 1889—and C.K. Conwell (1890-1968)—a pioneer born in Tennessee and raised in Texas, who came to Altus around 1910. They opened their studio in 1913. The photography studio operated at 123 East Commerce Street in Altus until 1978. The Conwells lived just outside of Altus at their home called "Rock Acres".
