EDITORS COMMENTS
The B. N. Duke Residence: A Glimpse into New York's Upper East Side in the 1920s". This photograph captures the grandeur of the B. N. Duke residence, located at the prestigious intersection of 5th Avenue and East 89th Street in New York City. The image, taken by renowned photographer Byron Company in 1921, showcases a stunning silver gelatin print that transports viewers back to an era of opulence and architectural splendor. The mansion's facade exudes elegance with its intricate detailing and imposing presence. Standing tall against a backdrop of bustling city streets, this magnificent townhouse serves as a symbol of wealth and sophistication during the early twentieth century. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can imagine Benjamin N. Duke himself strolling along the sidewalk adorned with a classic street lamp nearby. The architecture is complemented by a charming bench inviting passersby to rest amidst their busy urban lives. The B. N. Duke residence was not only an architectural marvel but also held great historical significance as it belonged to Benjamin N. Duke and his wife Sarah Duke – prominent figures who played pivotal roles in shaping American society during their time. Today, this remarkable photograph is preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time to experience life on Manhattan's Upper East Side nearly a century ago.
