Office of John Rod Riggs, early day photographer. The B.G. stood for "by God" because Riggs said he was so ugly that only God could have made him. Riggs was said to have had a respiratory condition that forced him to live in cool climates; the Shaver Ranch in summer and near Tollhouse in winter. Despite his physical condition, Riggs married and had a family.
