This view records the New York City home of Mrs. Paran Stevens, a well-known society hostess of the 1890s, photographed around 1894. The print is a photoprint copyrighted by J.S. Johnston of New York and numbered 282, which suggests it was one of a series of architectural views the studio issued. Its caption card is unverified, so the exact address and date should be checked against other sources. Still, it is a useful glimpse of how wealthy New Yorkers presented their houses during the Gilded Age, when the city's fashionable residences were often photographed as status symbols.
