The title places this view at St. Margaret's in Stratsburg, though the Bain News Service recorded that name on its negatives and caption cards without verification, so the exact town and church remain uncertain. Glass negatives like this one came from the agency's New York operation, which George Grantham Bain founded in 1899 to supply newspapers with pictures of buildings, events and public figures. With no date in the record, the picture is best read as a document of the early twentieth century, when such agencies were busiest and a church's architecture and street setting would have interested editors and readers.
