Biographical History

The Foltz Photography Studio in Savannah, Georgia was established by George Raymond Foltz (ca. 1881-1957), a native of Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Foltz came to Savannah in 1899 from Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he was associated with the boardwalk photography studio of Harry Phillips. His Savannah business was known as Franklin and Foltz (116 Bull Street) in 1900, then Foltz and Co. in 1901. In 1915, Foltz moved the studio to 240 Bull Street. He relocated the business again in 1917, to 10 West Broughton Street, where it remained until 1954, known during this time as Foltz Studio and as Foltz Photography. Between 1954 and 1965, the studio was operated at 30 West Broughton Street. Foltz retired in 1949, and the business was acquired by Augusta Klask Cordray (Mrs. Arthur A., 1900-1971), a native of Bonn, Germany. George Foltz died in 1957 and was survived by his wife, Robena Wilson Foltz, and three brothers. Mrs. Cordray, who had worked for Foltz since the 1920's, continued to operate the studio under the names, Foltz Photography and Foltz Studio until her retirement in the 1960's. After the studio closed in 1965, Mrs. Cordray donated the studio's photograph collection to the Georgia Historical Society.
