Comments :
Frank and Caroline Armington took a photo of this street during their trip in 1936.
‘’ Little Evelyn’’ was Ann Lownsburry the daughter of Evelyn Thomas, the cousin of Frank Awmington. This print was given to Ann for her fifth birthday.
Harry Emerson Fosdick (May 24, 1878 – October 5, 1969) was an American pastor. Fosdick became a central figure in the fundamentalist –modernist controversy within American Protestantism in the 1920s and 1930s and was one of the most prominent liberal ministers of the early 20th century. Although a Baptist, he was called to serve as pastor, in New York City, at First Presbyterian Church in Manhattan's West Village, and then at the historic, inter-denominational Riverside Church in Morningside Heights, Manhattan.
