Paul Kempf Looks Over Flowers Available at "Springtime on the Promenade," May 1968

"The man in the suit, standing at far left in the photo (cut in half in the photo) is Paul Kempf, retired businessman (Staebler-Kempf Oil Co.), and son of Ann Arbor musician Reuben Henry Kempf, longtime owner of the Bennett-Kempf House, the Greek Revival "temple" at 312 S. Division, in which Paul spent his childhood and growing years. Paul was active in the Washtenaw County Historical Society.

The farmer selling plants in this photo was set up at curbside in front of the First National Building, on the SE corner of S. Main and E. Washington. At that time, the Daniels Jewelry Store occupied the corner storefront. The storefront was eliminated in the current configuration of the building, which restored the ground floor's use as a bank lobby." - Wystan Stevens
