FYI: “Rufus W. Holsinger came to Charlottesville from Pennsylvania by way of Manassas in the late 1880’s to establish a photographic business. His “University Studio” at 719-721 West Main soon became the leading studio in town, with a reputation for first-quality work. Holsinger himself served at various times as president and treasurer of the Photographic Association of Virginia and the Carolinas, and as treasurer of the Photographer’s Association of America. He was a long-time member of the Charlottesville City Council, president of the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce, and an organizer and director of the National Bank of Charlottesville. After his death in 1930, the studio was owned and operated by his son, Ralph W. Holsinger, Jr., who moved the studio in 1935 to its familiar location at 908 West Main. Upon the son’s retirement in 1969, the studio passed from the hands of the Holsinger family, and the business ceased operation in 1977.”
