EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the bustling Cortlandt Street in New York City with the iconic Singer Building as its backdrop. The Singer Building, completed in 1908, was the first skyscraper to surpass the height of the MetLife Tower and stood as the tallest building in the world until 1932. In the foreground, the Elks War Memorial is prominently displayed. The Elks National Memorial is a monument dedicated to the members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) who served in the military and gave their lives in defense of their country. The BPOE, founded in 1868 in New York City, began as a social club and has since grown into a prominent fraternal organization in the United States. The significance of this image lies in its connection to the Elks National Convention held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the 1930s. The Elks, a non-profit organization, have a long history of charitable work and community involvement, and this convention likely served as a gathering place for members to discuss the organization's mission and future plans. The Elks War Memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the members of the BPOE in defense of their country. This photograph captures a moment in time when the spirit of fraternalism and patriotism were at the forefront of American society.
