back Barber Shop Corner back
Main and Water
Another shot of the intersection of Main and Water Streets, this time looking westward, with the Nauvoo House and the river in the background and the Mansion House hitching rail and picket fence at the left. The RLDS tour sign stands on the corner where they (the RLDS) say Uncle Orrin Porter Rockwell set up a barber shop in 1844, after his really nasty imprisonment experience in Missouri. Talk about location, location, location…

This would have been after Emma wasn’t willing that Porter earn his living as the Mansion House bartender.
