View full size. Thank you, BerniceBernice Abbot took her camera around New York City, stubbornly photographing the marginalized spaces (and occasionally people) that most people ignored. As Craig points out, this area is all spiffy and gentrified now. Thankfully, we have Abbot's record of how this area looked when it was a no-nonsense warehouse area. Still ThereThe skyscraper in the foreground on the Manhattan side is now known as "70 Pine Street." It is surprisingly little known, considering it's 900 feet high. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70_Pine_Street 80 years later, it's a different DUMBOI remember this corner from my years wandering around forgotten sections of Brooklyn. The warehouse on the right is now a 2-story shell used as a performance space (St. Ann's Warehouse), and the building that's going up in this picture came down in 2008. The cobblestone streets survived, but the sidewalks got paved. Neat to see it way back when! (The Gallery, Berenice Abbott, Boats & Bridges, NYC)

Paul Gardner "Tchernikoff"The director of this amateur company seems to have been J. Paul Gardner, born in Somerville, Massachusetts, and a graduate in architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 1917. After serving in the Army, Gardner danced for nine years in Anna Pavlova's corps de ballet, apparently using the stage name of Paul Tchernikoff. In March 1923 he returned to MIT to perform Russian dances in the university's annual "Tech Show," which traveled also to Hartford and the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, and was listed in the campus newspaper reviews of the show as "Paul Gardner Tchernikoff '17," and described as a member of the Pavlova company. In 1927, as Paul Tchernikoff, he was directing a dance school in Washington, assisted by a "Miss Gardiner." By the end of the 1920s he obtained an MA in art history from George Washington University, and served as the first full-time director of the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City from 1933 to 1953. The most detailed bio I could find is on the museum's Web site. [Lisa Gardiner was his partner in the Tchernikoff-Gardiner School of the Dance. - Dave] Clean FreaksOkay, so I didn't dust up there.

Posted by DBerry53 - 10/02/2015 - 8:35pm -

This is my first post to Shorpy, so I may as well start with the oldest of the photos I have inherited from my grandparents. This is a daguerreotype of my great-great-grandparents, Maria R. Vaughan and Martin Van Buren Jones on their wedding day in Marion County, Oregon, Oct. 29, 1854. They met and fell in love while crossing on the Oregon Trail in 1852 when he was 21 and she was 14. He was traveling alone, while she was with her parents and siblings, who settled SW of the Portland area. He went down the coast to just south of the California/Oregon border, where he settled and became one of the founders of Crescent City, California. Once settled, he went back north, married her, and brought her back to Crescent City, making her the first bride there. They went on to raise a large family. He was born in New York state in 1831 and died on his timber claim near Klamath, Del Norte County, California, on March 31, 1884. She was born in Peoria, Illinois, Dec. 14, 1837, and died in Crescent City on June 6, 1926. I grew up in her old house. View full size. Fascinating storyIt would be interesting to know a bit more about their lives, but even so, the photo offers a lot to one's imagination.

In 1986 I drove my 1964 Ford Falcon from Vancouver BC through Canada to Toronto, and on to New York City. I left New York by using the Brooklyn Bridge, and posed the car on Plymouth Street for this view. This location then was industrial, and now has been transformed into Empire Fulton Ferry Park with excellent public facilities. I returned to Vancouver through the USA to Seattle and home. The car had a 170 cu. in. engine with manual three-speed column shift. It was retired after traveling 225,000 miles. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Lots of streets in New York City had block parties to celebrate the end of World War II. This picture was taken on 46th Street between 10th and 11th Avenue in the old area known as Hell's Kitchen. That was one street away from the piers where the soldiers and sailors used to land when they came home from the war. Hell's Kitchen . . . Paddy's MarketGreat photo. Do you live in NYC?

"Portrait of Billie Holiday at the Downbeat club, New York, ca. February 1947." Medium format negative by William Gottlieb. View full size.         I especially tried to capture personality, but that's an elusive quality, and I was successful only a portion of the time. But I certainly hit it on the button here with a picture of Billie Holiday, whose voice was filled with anguish. I also tried to catch the beauty of her face -- she was at her most beautiful at that particular time, which was not too long after she had come out of prison on a drug charge. She couldn't get at any drugs while she was incarcerated, or alcohol, and she lost weight and she came out looking gorgeous, and her voice was, I think, at its peak. And I was fortunate enough to have spent some time with her during that period, and I caught this close-up of her in a way that you could really see the anguish that must have been coming out of her throat. -- William Gottlieb, 1997 Party BillI naively thought that William Gottlieb only took sedate pictures of boutiques and modernist houses. This recent series of jazz singers and 52nd Street scenes shows a whole other side of him. He had his finger on the pulse of the city! [You're confusing Sam Gottscho with Bill Gottlieb. - Dave] Gee, you're right, sorry! Although there was a rumor Sam liked an occasional sarsaparilla. Gotta wonder ...what patrons at the Downbeat Club thought when they saw that bruise (?) on her arm. Love the old jazz singers and instrumentalists, but I have to wonder whether too much of that beautiful music was caused, so to speak, by bruises like that. The bestIf I could only listen to one musician/group for the remainder of my life, it would be Billie Holiday. (The Gallery, Music, NYC, William Gottlieb)

Moveable MonumentOld Abe gets moved around a lot. He now sits a few blocks away in Hanover Square. The fence around the green is famous for the broken posts that once held the Royal Emblem — broken off in protest at the beginning of the American Revolution. The ragged edges can still be seen. Remarkably, this fence was temporarily lost, when subway construction removed it, and it went missing for a few years. A large horse mounted King George III statue stood right about the center of the green. He was torn down by the mob and the story is the lead statue was turned into bullets. The horses tail survives at the N-Y Historical Society. Apocryphal story says that bowling got its 10th pin here. The Dutch outlawed the playing of 9 pins, the original game. on Sunday. Adding the headpin got around the law. Rent for Bowling Green is one peppercorn per year. Don't know when it was last paid — the rent may well be in arrears. My father might even be in the picture - he was an office boy in the Standard Oil building on the right. In Jan. of 1942, he volunteered for the Navy. Iwo Jima awaited him as a corpsman.

Her mother, Eleanor, daughter of Woodrow Wilson, was 25 years younger than her father, William G. McAdoo. It was his second marriage, his first wife having died in 1912. They divorced in 1934. Eleanor announced Mary's engagement to Gerald James, an artist at Walt Disney Studios, in May 1940, but they never married. Mary wed Donald Wilson Thackwell in 1946. He died in 1962. She married Nicholas M. Haddad in 1966, but they divorced in 1969. Her last marriage was to Russell Vernon Bush in 1970. Mary died in Goleta, California, on Nov. 14, 1988, at age 68. She had no children. Much ado for McAdoosThese two sisters did not end up with overly happy lives despite their wealth. Ellen (the bigger sister) died in 1946 after 2 marriages and divorces, and a very racist father who wanted to make sure she only married someone 100% Caucasian. She was 31 years old when she died. Mary Faith (who was three in this picture) at least lived to age 68 but had 3 marriages and divorces. (The Gallery, D.C., Kids, Natl Photo)

I'm not sure what "bad conditions" Mr. Tebbutt was referring to (leaving used chewing gum on the arm rests instead of underneath the benches?) but there would only be so much disapproved social behavior from the teen set that the tight, overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, Fall River culture would tolerate before the whip would come cracking down. Generally, there would be only two or three degrees between the ticket-taker and the kids' parents. That wouldn't leave much wiggle-room for shenanigans. (The Gallery, Kids, Lewis Hine)
