Whyaduck: Thank you for the information about Lyndhurst. We will update the photo information and reload the description.

This is Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion begun in 1838 and expanded in 1864-65. Alexander Jackson Davis was the architect. Financier Jay Gould bought it as a summer home in 1880. After his death it became the home of his eldest daughter, Helen, and, on Helen's death, his younger daughter Anna took charge of the property. Anna left Lyndhurst to the National Trust for Historic Preservation on her death in 1961. Today it is a museum. Lyndhurst web site. Edit: The web site New York Social Diary provides this extensive page featuring many modern photographs of Lyndhurst and its grounds.

Whyaduck: thank you for the information about Lyndhurst. We will add this identification and reload the description.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The porte-cochère, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Helen Harris a.k.a. Goldblat(t) discussed here (the pictures seem to have been taken on the same day, 31 May or 1 June 1914). I Goldstein is identified as "David Goldstein" in the Greensburg Daily Tribune article. Rose Yurest isn't mentioned.

Thanks so much for helping to identify the people, date and event. We'll add information to the description when we next update.

On my copy of this photo, the other woman with Birkman and Helen is identified as "Mary Euster."
