Many photographers of the day had temporary studios in towns neighboring their home base. They rented lofts, added a few props and visited them by connecting rail line periodically, once a month, or twice a week.

James M Heath of Terre Haute, IN, seems a good choice. Greencastle, IN, is only 34 miles from Terre Haute, IN, where James M Heath had a studio.
