Tearing down Astor house (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Wystan said:

  John Jacob Astor had it built, in 1836. Abraham Lincoln slept there, in 1860. The south part was demolished in 1913, a victim of subway construction, and the rest was torn down in 1926. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_House

  Wystan: Thanks for the additional details on the Astor house. We will add a bit more to the record when we update.

A.L. Russell (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Art Siegel said:

  I think an educated guess on this one is that he is Alfred L. Russell of A.L. Russell, Inc. which published the reports of the New York Produce Exchange, a commodities market that traded, among many other things, in grain. In a 1918 Columbia U. publication, he is also identified has having been a member of the Exchange since 1883. By 1918 he was working for the Federal Food Administration Grain Corporation, which was in charge of wartime wheat and grain distribution.
  He is probably photographed here at the New York Attorney General's offices, where the inquiry into grain and bread prices, speculation and price-fixing had begun on February 16th, 1915. The Exchange's Chief Statistician, Henry Heinzer testified at the inquiry.
