Tempe in the 1950s - Selections from the Bill Wood Collection

Bill Wood started the Pioneer Camera Shop in 1951, located in Tempe originally at 51/2 E. 5th Street. It later moved to Tempe Center, and was sold in 1961. Many of the photographs in the collection were taken by Wood. They mainly date to the years that he owned the camera shop, from 1951 - 1961.
