John Green appears first in Denver's 1885 city directory as a "col'd photographer" located at the corner of Blake and 18th Street. His establishment moved locations a few times, but he remained working as a photographer in the city for nearly 40 years. His tintypes are regularly housed in paper sleeves bearing his ink stamp.
