Felix Perres blacksmith shop

On Lots 9 and 11 of Block 1 on Adams Avenue, Felix Perres (grandson of Rayne founding Mattias Arenas) operated a blacksmith shop in the tradition of the family in conjunction with James "Jake" Laughlin. Notice the huge hide being "cured" for use as chair seats? and the Lynn LeBlanc Horse and Mule establishment across the street. From left, unidentified man, Jake Laughlin and Felix Perres.
