Caption: "Frances [sic] Tavern, New York. Where Washington Took Leave of Offices and Disbanded the Troops at Conclusion of the Revolutionary [sic] War. Aug. 5, 1934." Built as a family home for Etienne "Stephen" DeLancey in 1719, this building was converted to use as a tavern in 1762. It served many important functions before, during, and after the Revolutionary War, but several fires in the nineteenth century erased the building's original appearance. The Sons of the Revolution purchased the property in 1904 and embarked upon extensive restoration plans in 1907, supervised by William Mersereau. The building is now used as a museum and art gallery.

Caption: "R U N N I N G J U M P.," c. 1917. Image of an early high jumper in mid-leap, with men clad in military uniforms watching, as well as civilian men and women. In the high jump, athletes attempt to leap over a horizontal bar without the benefit of a pole (as in pole vaulting). The technique shown here is an early one with the jumper upright rather than in the "Fosbury Flop" position, developed later in the century. The uniforms and surrounding vegetation in the photograph suggest that that event may have taken place at Camp Lewis, Washington.
