Lars Sellstedt Heritage: A Community Tribute Exhibition

From exhibition label:

"Lars G. Sellstedt was a good friend of many prominent people who helped shape the history of Buffalo as well as our country. Among his friends were the two U.S. Presidents: Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore whose portraits hang beside him here. The artist became associated with Mr. Cleveland, a young attorney, as a member of a fishing club named "The Jolly Reefers".

Mr. Fillmore took an avid interest in the art of Buffalo and worked with Mr. Sellstedt towards the establishment of an art gallery. When this goal was accomplished, Fillmore served as curator of the gallery for several terms."
