John Daniel Crimmins (1844-1917) was one of New York City's most prominent citizens of Irish descent in the late nineteenth century. "Born in New York City and raised in an upper middle class home. After graduating from St. Franics Xavier College High School, he joined his father's contracting firm as a partner, taking over as president in 1873. Under his direction, the firm experienced rapid growth, employing up to 12,000 people at its height. His firm played a prominent role in the renovation and construction of what would become "modern New York City," building most of the city's elevated railways, many of its buildings, hospitals, and churches, and laying the first underground lines for telegraph and telephone cables. Much of Crimmins' success was attributed to his innovative use of the steam drill for excavation work. He was married to Lily Lalor Crimmins (1849-1888) and had at least three children." —Excerpted Georgetown University Libraries

This would be Clara Driscoll Sevier (1881-1845) ... Typo, s/b: (1881-1945) Clara, as a teenager, also "Saved the Alamo" from redevelopment by personally paying most of the purchase price, and preserving it for future generations. "When the childless, thirty-one-year marriage was dissolved, Clara legally resumed her maiden name and was thereafter officially known as Mrs. Clara Driscoll." –The Handbook of Texas

Fixed, thanks!

Looks like St. Peters Church on Grace at 8th... and the 'rig' provides a complete dichotomy to the concept of 'Hell on Wheels'...!

Lovely dresses.

Walked by the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart just about everyday in the 70's. We were amazed by the amout of copper on the roof. Since copper went from 50 cents a pound to 75 cents a pound.
