The title names a street address rather than a famous landmark: 218 East 67th, which probably refers to a block on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that George Grantham Bain founded around 1899, sold news pictures of city buildings, events and street life to newspapers, and its glass negatives later passed to the Library of Congress. The record gives no date or photographer, and the title is unverified, so the occasion behind the picture is unknown. The plate still shows how the city was documented in the early twentieth century.
