For context, the building where this photo is housed is now called Bloemendaal House, at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Henrico, Va. Ginter first built the building as the Lakeside Wheel Club for his rich, velocipede-loving friends of the 1890’s.

It’s really pretty cool to walk around the building that Lewis Ginter walked through, knowing how instrumental he was to the popularity of the tobacco cards we all love today.
