James Calvin Patton

African American photographer James Calvin Patton (1882-1958) operated Patton's Studio in Indianapolis in the 1910s and early 1920s. In the mid- to late 1920s, Patton relocated the studio to Chicago, making panoramic portraits of groups, including the 35th Annual NAACP conference and the Greater St. John Baptist Church Gospel Choir, through the mid-1950s.
