EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Piece of History: White House Hotel (c1910-1915)**
This photograph print captures a moment in time at the White House Hotel, located on Canal Street near Elizabeth Street in New York City. The building holds significant historical importance as it was once home to John F. Schrank, who infamously attempted to assassinate President Teddy Roosevelt in 1912.
The image shows the hotel's exterior façade, with people milling about outside and a sense of everyday life unfolding on the sidewalk. The atmosphere is tranquil, with no hint of the dramatic events that would soon unfold at this very location. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex intersection between history and human experience.
Bain News Service, renowned for their press photography expertise, captured this moment in time using glass negatives - an innovative technique prevalent during the early 20th century. The resulting black and white print is both evocative and nostalgic, inviting viewers to step into a bygone era when politics were tumultuous and everyday life was full of surprises.
This photograph has been preserved through Heritage Images, ensuring that this piece of history remains accessible for generations to come.
