    Top of plate says (St. Pat Day '13) so I assume this was 1913.

    John D. Crimmins - Contractor, Catholic layman and philanthropist. ( ref. obit query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F06EFD6123FE433A... ref. photograph digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1218718 ) Governor William Sulzer (soon to be impeached) (ref. cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/william-sulzer/ ) Here's the New York Times report dated March 18, 1913: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CE2DE173FE633A... Which contains this quote: " Cardinal Farley occupied the place of honor in the middle of the second row in the reviewing stand. Seated at his left were Gov. Sulzer and Mayor Gaynor On his right were Adjt Gen Hamilton and Mgr Lavelle. Seated in the front row were Mgr. McGean, Commissioner Edwards of the Department of Street Cleaning, Police Commissioner Waldo and Mgr. James Mooney." Although this particular photograph does not precisely reflect the seating order in that reporter's account.

    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
