Bohemian Gymnastic Hall (Sokol Hall) at Gay and Preston Sts., circa 1910

The collection consists of one box (with three larger photoprints stored separately) and a total of 39 photoprints from 1890-1960. The photographs document the Czech community in East Baltimore, especially the Rokos and Klecka families. Subjects include a grocery store and a saloon, family portraits and wedding photographs, and views of funeral processions and people lying in state. There are several views of the Sokol Hall at Preston and Gay Streets, a portrait of young women in the Sokol Organization, and a 7th Ward picnic at a park in Dundalk.

Note: The collection contains several folders of printed ephemera, including a photomechanical picture of the J.J. Rokos Bakery, and a copy of Palecek, a Czech community newspaper from 1902.
