Ladies outside the Newport casino:

That's probably meant to be Mrs. Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs, a prominent member of Newport society and a member of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage too. She married Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs (1882-1973), a stockbroker, in 1907, and they were divorced in 1921.

They had one child, daughter Margery (aka Marjorie, aka "Bubbles"); maybe that's her in the photo. If it is, she eventually married Eddy Duchin, the bandleader, in 1935, and became mother to Peter Duchin (b. 1937). Marjorie Oelrichs Duchin died two days after the birth of Peter.

The Mrs. Oelrichs in the photo above does not appear to be the same woman who, in another Bain/LOC photo, also is identified as Mrs. Oelrichs. Perhaps Bain made an error in one of the identifications. Moreover, the daughter in the other photo (who does not resemble the girl in this one) is identified as "Margaret," not "Marjorie." Here is the other photo:

Indeed, Wystan, this woman and daughter look more like the mother and daughter in the pictured labeled as Mrs. Amos Pinchot.

The daughter, in particular looks to be wearing the same hat.

has pictures of Gertrude Minturn Pinchot that look like this woman, but is mainly about her daughter, who was the actress Rosamond Pinchot. Pictures of Rosamond as a girl on the web page could certainly be this girl.

The Oelrichs seem like a complicated family with a lot of same-named people; Margery/Marjorie Oelrichs, daughter of the Charles DeLoosey Oelrichs, was born after 1907, which would seem to make her a little younger than this child.

I like the alternate identification--they do look much more like the Gertrude and Rosamond Pinchot in the photo swanq links to. Not only the same hat on the girl--looks like it could be the same dress, socks, and shoes too!

Columbia University's Low Memorial Library was designed by architect Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead, and White, the firm that created the original master plan for the University's Morningside Heights campus. Internet sources differ on the date of construction. Columbia itself says it was completed in 1897. But then Columbia is also one of several Internet sources saying that the dome is built of granite, yet this 2003 article from Architectural Record reveals that it is actually built mostly of brick, and faced with limestone panels. Oh, Internets!

This is such an incredible structure. When I went to the campus, I loved all of the architecture at Columbia University, but I was especially fond of the Low Memorial Library. The Low family spent over $1 million in the late 1890's in order to finance the building, which is now the most popular and prominent building on campus. This building is beautifully designed with massive columns and perfect symmetry. Furthermore, this library is still used today as the administrative center by the university. It is hard to believe that it was built over a century ago, and it is still as magnificent today as it was then!

I recently visited the campus this summer in the beginning of June. Talk about amazing! The architecture of the entire campus is awesome but the most memorable of all of the buildings was definitely the Low Memorial Library. I was quite impressed with the fact that it is still in such great shape. When looking at brochures of Columbia University, the Low Memorial Library was always pictured with students sitting on the steps and hanging out. I knew that it was a popular place for students to lounge around but when I was actually there sitting on the steps, I quickly realized why it was such a great place to just sit and relax.
