About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

It's interesting to see that while some of the ladies' shoes are 'standard' high-button models, the woman in the center is in pumps - but provided with spats for the purpose. I detect dress standards & proper decorum being observed. Ankles!

The building at 115 Fulton Street that once housed the Ann Fulton YWCA is long gone, the site being occupied by a 7-story office and retail building dating to the early 1960s.
A juxtaposition
Submitted by jsmakbkr on Tue, 10/20/2009 - 9:53pm.
Perhaps Ann Fulton is not a person but an area - referring to three blocks in New York's financial district, east of Broadway, that are bounded on the north by Ann Street and on the south by Fulton Street. The address of the YWCA (115 Fulton) would be on one such block.
A Guess
Submitted by Anonymous Tipster on Tue, 10/20/2009 - 9:42pm.
There is a surprising lack of online information concerning Ms. Fulton, but as far as I can tell, Ann Fulton was a founding member of the Longwood Progressive Meeting of Friends, a Quaker abolitionist group founded and active in Chester County, PA, that may have been an important part of the Underground Railroad. There may be more to the story but that was all I could find.
