The caption of the same photo in www.myhometown.ie/Dublin_North/Arbour_Hill/Panoramic_view... says that this is the King George V Hospital in Dublin, now the St Bricin's Military Hospital.

Mr French / Lawrence was there also - see the photobombers at top left windows! - the vegetation might help with a date catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316682 Something is wrong with the St Bricins wiki article when it says "It was founded as the King George V Hospital in 1909 ... " (see B-59's link above)

The NIAH says :Saint Bricin's Military Hospital was built from 1902, and first occupied in 1913, when it became known as King George V Hospital.

The DIA says: Name: HALL, RICHARD HENRY CHAPMAN Building: CO. DUBLIN, DUBLIN, ARBOUR HILL, MILITARY HOSPITAL Date: 1900ca Nature: RHCH clerk of works for Royal Engineers for new hospital costing £18,000. Refs: ICEI membership applications, IV, 48 Name: MEASURES, HARRY BELL # Building: CO.

That is love for a cause in that weather. I hope it was all worth it when the kids saw the mammoth christmas tree.

God bless them wherever they are now

This photo blogged for a rhyme at NYC Rhymology. Thanks, L of C.

2 things--I believe this is 14th looking up broadway (since the question was raised) and that thing behind the lady, now has a statue of Gandhi on it. (I would not have picked him, but they did not ask me-lol) Does this woman look black to anyone else? I think she is, which means the Salvation Army was intergrated when almost nothing else was. Unless they only used blacks for this kind of weather. hee hee Even if she is white, they probably were intergrated. addie B)

Some biographical info on C-B-C here (warning - pdf).

I read the bio - and added a tag, "mule." This doesn't appear to be a horse, folks. Mules are smart and long on endurance.

It is a horse- Just because it is ugly doesn't make it a mule. It's ears are too small to be a mule

It's a horse. This horse is a descendant of the horses that the Spanish brought over and is typically called a "cayouse," after the native tribe that used them. Look at some of Remington's works and you will see that most of the Indian and cow ponys of that time were like this pony. A tough breed and hard worker.

This is definitely not a mule -- the tag should be removed. It's a horse that's not especially attractive, but not necessarily a cayuse either -- just a good, sturdy horse of mixed breed, apparently roan in color. Frankly as long as the "mule" tag is removed the breed doesn't much matter.
