    One possibility is a Lt. Patrick G. Fitzgibbons who led the New York Police Glee Club and Band. See NYT of July 16, 1925 timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/07/16/10167283... which says, "Governor Alfred E. Smith and many other State and municipal officlals went to the pier at the foot of West Houston Street yesterday to bid farewell to Lieutenant Patrick Fitzgibbons, head of the New York Police Glee Club and Band, who sailed for Italy on the Giuseppi Verdi on his way to Rome." NYT of Feb 4, 1954 timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1954/02/04/92528703... gives his middle initial as G.

    An earlier Bain photo shows a Lt. Fitzgibbons
    Gigli and Lt. Fitzgibbons (LOC)

    Based on research into a nearby Bain picture of Gigli (see comments on picture above), this is probably in September 1922.

    He is in the uniform of the New York Police Glee Club. See another earlier photo:
    Alma Clayburgh and Police Glee Club (LOC)

    I think Fitzgibbons may be third from right.
    Could the man in this later Bain photo be the same person?

    Another Bain photo of the New York Police Glee Club -- determined by Flickr users to be from 1918 -- is:

  • Seuss. said:
    NY Post refers to him as Patrick J. Ellis Island shows him returning (age 43) on the Mauretania, accompanied by Margaret Fitzgibbons (age 42). The boys wearing little boy pants and grown up hats are George (age 9) and Edward (age 8). None of them have middle initials.
  • swanq said:
    Seuss. -- Great. Do you have a date. I don't find anything in Chronicling America for Fitzgibbons and Mauretania in 1925.

The Virgin Islands? St. Croix? (LOC)

  • aware health said:
    Suppose "1860" is the address, or the year the tower was built?
  • Lance Waters said:
    If I were a betting Man, this would be Fort Frederik in Frederiksted, St. Croix, USVI. This would be the side entrance to the Fort. The windows with the danish shutters are the same as today, however, the clock tower is not there now. What's interesting is that a date similar to this one is located inside which dates 1760. See photo below:

    Ft. Frederik 1760

    he seems a bit nervous, judging by the way he's holding his hands! -- Seen in my contacts' photos. ( ?² )

    lovely portrait
  • turgidson said:
    I wonder did he eventually become a judge in which case he could have proclaimed 'I am the law' as he passed sentence ;-)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    turgidson That would have been brilliant alright! I did a bit of searching on him, in newspapers, etc. but couldn't find any mention of him.
