Any chance it might be this other Tim Sullivan? This looks to be Mott Street in front of old St. Patrick's.

This is the funeral of "Big" Tim Sullivan, on September 15, 1913. LOC -- "Bowery" should be capitalized.

Wystan, I think the funeral was on September 15, reported in NYT of Sept. 16. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C03E2D8123FE633A... "CLASS LINES VANISH AT SULLIVAN BURIAL; Judges and Senators Mix with Thieves and Gangsters for Last Tribute to Dead Leader."
