Biographical history

James William Powell became an apprentice photographer with Sheldon & Davis in 1867. He opened his first business in 1868 as Powell & Tobey in Napanee, Ontario. By 1873, he had opened his own studio in Kingston, Ontario. His studios were located at 135 Wellington Street over King's Drug Store from 1875 to the early 1880's, at 43 Brock Street (part of the Anchor Block), then finally at 165 Princess Street in 1883.

In 1894, James Powell became blind after suffering from a stroke. His wife, Jane, and son, Haffell, continued the business from this point until 1906.

General note

Saint James' Church is located on the south side of Union Street between Barrie and Arch Streets. The parish of Saint James' was organized in 1843. The cornerstone for the church was laid 28 September 1944 and the building was opened for service on 14 September 1845. The church was designed by W. Coverdale and the original structure was very small with only two rows of pews and a small chancel. It has a Norman tower with a small spire on each corner. In 1888, the building was widened on each side and a chancel, organ chamber and three Gothic porches were added. Further alterations were made in 1926.
