Wikipedia article: George Walbridge Perkins: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Walbridge_Perkins Dorothy was his daughter.

Thanks Harry, for providing more information about George Walbridge Perkins. The library has another photograph of him taken in Washington, D.C. around 1911. Do you think that is the Capitol building behind him and his daughter in this photograph? If so, it would mean that it was taken around the same time.

Definitely the Capitol.

Dorothy died in 1990, at the age of 99, and had in 1960 given the Perkins family's huge estate in Riverdale, New York to the city. It is now the Wave Hill public garden and cultural center. wavehill.org/home/ Dorothy Perkins Freeman's obituary: www.nytimes.com/1990/10/03/obituaries/dorothy-p-freeman-d...
