Robert Adamson (1871-1935), American journalist; in 1914 he was campaign manager for John Purroy Mitchell, and was appointed Fire Commissioner of the City of New York: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Adamson_%28FDNY_Commissioner%29 Joseph Johnson Jr was Adamson's predecessor at Fire Commissioner: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Johnson_%28FDNY_Commissioner%29

Another Bain/LOC photo of Robert Adamson and his peculiar desktop:

That photo must have been taken nearly at the same time as the one above. Notice the identical cigar in an identical position on the desktop.

Out with the old, in with the new. This pairs with the adjacent pic in the set, here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/page132/ and the new motor fire engine of that other photograph can be seen in the background of this one, and it looks like the same fire house too.

Good link Nieuwenhis Fotografie - it looks like the "little giant" too: www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/html/f_a/e39_5.shtml

Same location as this photo, the National Cloak & Suit Company building. According to the NYT, the National Cloak and Suit Company occupied "the entire west side of the block on Seventh Avenue between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Street" in New York City. A look at Google Maps' Street View confirms that it's this location, 250 Seventh Avenue, currently a Whole Foods store. There is also an October 10, 1912 story about city-wide fire drill exercises the previous day, one of which took place at the building, so this picture could have been taken on October 9, 1912, unless there other fire drills of this type taken in other years.

Thanks, epicharmus! We will add a note to the source data and reload the description.
