A knitting class at Lafayette House is the subject that sets this negative apart from others on the board, showing a group gathered to learn needlework. The record gives no date or exact location, and the title comes from caption cards the Bain News Service attached to its glass negatives, so the identification is unverified. The Bain News Service was a New York news photo agency active in the early twentieth century, and its pictures of everyday classes and community institutions offer a useful record of how such programs looked.
