Portrait of Landlord C A Sterling in a Laughing Moment
A newspaper portrait shows Landlord C A Sterling in a rare amused mood. He is described as engaging yet capable of sharp, rapid abuse, with a gruff business persona when angered but softened briefly by a future wife’s influence. President Stevenson gifted the likeness, urging him to trade thunder for a smile, which Sterling both accepted and rejected with a scowl and a dash of humor.
