en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Orteig
"Raymond Orteig (1870 – 6 June 1939) was a French American hotel owner in New York City in the early 20th century. He is best known for setting up the $25,000 Orteig Prize in 1919 for the first non-stop transatlantic flight between New York City and Paris, which was claimed by Charles Lindbergh eight years later in 1927."

This photo was clearly at the same location as a neighboring photo in the stream.

The date of 5/23/27 written on the negative relates to the occasion when the Orteig prize was won by Charles Lindbergh.

Thank you to the Bain employee that properly refiled the image in 1927, back to its 1925 proper place after copying.

Thanks swanq for the identification and noticing the date issue.

Rjones0856: Thanks for the information on Jerome H. Joyce, proprietor of the Hotel Joyce in Baltimore. According to the article on the you cited, Joyce was a "convivial and ebullient fellow with an enormous mustache and carefully cultivated Vandyke goatee." This seems to match the man in this photo! We will add some more information when we update.

I started a Wikipedia biography: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_H._Joyce

Thanks for the flickr and photo posting. My great, grand uncle, Duncan A. Gillies was Jerome's brother-in-law. Duncan was married to Jerome's sister Margaret Hoslin Joyce (1869-1930) in January, 1887. It was Senator Joyce's wedding, and Baltimore's social event of the year.

This is likely the "William Muchenheim of the Hotel Astor" called as a witness in the New York Attorney General's inquiry into whether there had been a criminal conspiracy with regard to grain and bread, the price of which had risen sharply. The hearings began at the Attorney General's office, 299 Broadway, on Feb. 16, 1915. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A03E2D61538E633A... However, it seems both Bain and the Times got the spelling wrong. The two Muschenheim brothers, William C., and Frederick A., developed owned and ran the Hotel Astor, which in this era grew to occupy a full city block in what is now called Times Square. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Astor_(New_York). A detailed obituary, telling the story of how he arrived in the U.S. as an immigrant from Germany and worked his way up through the restaurant industry to accumulate great wealth, is in the October 26, 1918 New York Times: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70A13F93E5D147A9...

Maybe! but he still looks like a waiting patient!
