Printed text in right margin: "Meadville, Pa.; St. Louis, Mo., Copyright 1899 by B. L. Singley." The Keystone View Company was one of the most prominent stereoview distributors in the United States. Its origins can be traced back to 1892 when founder and photographer Benneville Lloyd Singley (1864-1938), also known as B. L. Singley, photographed scenes of a catastrophic Meadville flood and sold those photos under "Keystone View Company." Singley's company quickly expanded and was incorporated in 1905. Manufacturing was based in Meadville, but branch offices were eventually established nationwide. Keystone outpaced its competitors, including Underwood & Underwood (who Singley used to work for), and by 1935, the company had about two million stereoscopic negatives. Two Keystone employees, Charles E. Crandall and George E. Hamilton, took over the business after Singley's passing. In 1963, Keystone was purchased by Mast Development Company, but in 1972, the Meadville manufacturing site was shuttered which brought an end to the company.
