Quote: "John A McCall...who died under a cloud." What in the world does that mean???

If this is the same property referenced in this New York Times article, he paid a full $100,000 for the estate property - that was a whopping big sum in 1902.

There was a big investigation into insurance company practices in New York State in the middle of that decade, which led to insurance reforms -- which were fought by New York Life Insurance Company, of which McCall was president. The impression I get from a few NYTimes articles is that he was often attacked for the things he said.

Hi synchronism: According to the associated newspaper article for this image, John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance Company built this elaborate home (called Shadow Lawn) in New Jersey to entertain his guests in high style. Unfortunately, amidst insurance investigations came his untimely death "many believe from a broken heart." More information about this is available in the Chronicling America web site.

Typical "Tyneside Flats" with front and rear views in one photo. On the right of the photo the two front doors are together. The right door was for the ground-floor flat. The left door was for the staircase to the upper flat. In Stanley, County Durham some designs had 4 front doors grouped together. In the centre of the photo is the rear view with an open staircase leading to the upper flat. Imagine coming down that staircase in the dark winter to visit the outside toilet. Each small back yard had its own back gate and coal house. There were chimney stacks for the living room and kitchen coal fires.
