Thanks Harry, for providing more information about George Walbridge Perkins. The library has another photograph of him taken in Washington, D.C. around 1911. Do you think that is the Capitol building behind him and his daughter in this photograph? If so, it would mean that it was taken around the same time.

Dorothy died in 1990, at the age of 99, and had in 1960 given the Perkins family's huge estate in Riverdale, New York to the city. It is now the Wave Hill public garden and cultural center. wavehill.org/home/ Dorothy Perkins Freeman's obituary: www.nytimes.com/1990/10/03/obituaries/dorothy-p-freeman-d...

Thanks artolog, for filling in Dorothy's side of the story. We'll add some information about her to the record the next time we update.

Uhh... are you sure this isn't from 1949? I believe that inaugurations are always in odd-numbered years and elections are in even-numbered ones.

Hi NGarb114, You are correct Harry Truman's inauguration was in 1949, not 1948. Thanks helping us correct that mistake! Kristin (U.S. National Archives)
