Edward Foster (1839-1920, Harrison p.299), a native of Germany, bought half-interest in a Front Street (NE corner of Cooper) blacksmith shop in 1865, and the other half in 1870. He later entered the Foster & Lake partnership with George Lake. In ~1884, the business was acquired by E. Bowman, and the name was changed to "Santa Cruz Carriage Makers". By 1900 (the date of the photo detail at right), the shop had apparently changed ownership again (Wm. Ely), or maybe Ely owned the building but not the business.
In later remembrances, Elihu Anthony noted that this corner was the southern limit of the land he had purchased and subdivided in 1847-48.
