Beach, William Edward
William E. Beach, an insurance salesman, was an avid amateur photographer, interested in historic sites in Michigan and the eastern U.S. Beach covered the entire state of Michigan and photographed many small towns and villages.
He also documented the daily life of his hometown, Howell, Michigan, and photographed street scenes, delivery trucks, new buildings and roads under construction, gas stations, parades, storm and fire damage and prized possessions such as a car or a cow. Beach was also an active Mason and photographed many Masonic events and temples throughout the state. His photographs serve as candid documents of life in a small town in Michigan in the 1930's and 1940's.
