Biographical history
James William Powell became an apprentice photographer with Sheldon & Davis in 1867. He opened his first business in 1868 as Powell & Tobey in Napanee, Ontario. By 1873, he had opened his own studio in Kingston, Ontario. His studios were located at 135 Wellington Street over King's Drug Store from 1875 to the early 1880's, at 43 Brock Street (part of the Anchor Block), then finally at 165 Princess Street in 1883.
In 1894, James Powell became blind after suffering from a stroke. His wife, Jane, and son, Haffell, continued the business from this point until 1906.

General note
Saint George's Church was started in 1825 to replace a smaller one of the same name. It was a rectangular building of stone designed by Thomas Rogers. It was enlarged and the front was rebuilt in 1846 when the portico and clock tower were added. In 1891, it was again greatly enlarged and a dome similar to St. Paul's in London was added. After the fire of 1 January 1899, architect Joseph Power added the Johnson Street portico and covered the roof and the dome in copper. In March 1862, St. George's became a Cathedral.
