The caption names this as an interior of the "Soloman House," but the record notes that the title comes from unverified information on the original negative or caption card, so the building's location and owner are uncertain. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, assembled by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Interior views like this were common in the agency's files, often used to illustrate stories about buildings, homes, or events. With no date recorded, the furnishings and fittings in the room are the best clues to when it was taken.
