NYT of June 13, 1915 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10E12FF3D551273... reports that "Hundreds of children shouted "Hurrah!" and waved their hats and their hands yesterday afternoon as little Fred Lewis, 5 years old, of 275 West 150th Street, and William J. Lee, Supervisor of Recreations of the Department of Parks, sent the Stars and Stripes fluttering to the pinnacle of a tall flagpole, and Astor Field, a children's playground, was dedicated. "

swanq: Thank you for the New York Times article about the opening of this playground. We will add some of the details to the description when we update.
Art Siegel said:
The article in Swanq's link notes that the playground was on land owned by Vincent Astor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Astor , who loaned his land to the city and installed the playground equipment on an acre of land between 7th and 8th Avenue and 49th and 50th Street (in West Harlem, not far from the Polo Grounds). Today the entire block is a single apartment house development made up of several buildings. The article also notes that some of the notables due at the opening of the park were delayed by the Fireman's parade (the subject of the set of photos immediately prior)

Interesting to note that both of the Wynne images you've uploaded have a magenta cast. Is there a specific reason for this? I have a fading print of this photograph in the family album, which I thought of uploading to my stream, but you beat me to it. :-)

Oh sorry, Mike! I was just so eager to get it up there. Really don't know about the magenta cast - many of our Wynne photos have it, and I love it personally...
Mike Hannon said:
No need to apologise at all. It's one of those photos I was sure you'd have, and in far superior quality to the print I have. The remainder of the photographs I have are of the immediate Wynne family members, and then my Great-grandfathers offspring, so I hope to see many more of T.J's photos here.

Well, if you're uploading any of the family members to your own stream, let's know - would love to see what they looked like...
Mike Hannon said:
Haha! I don't think I'll go that far yet, as I only have the free account on here, and I'm limited to 200 photos. I did come across two postcards from the era that I've scanned and posted, and though the photographs aren't credited to Thomas, they may be of interest.......

Never knew my dad (Blair Baumhour) played hockey. He was so young. Thanks for posting this.
