Behind the leftmost bed, Miss Mast stands. Two children share a wheelchair at center. Behind the group, wire fencing caps a low brick wall that extends around the perimeter of the terrace. Curtains hang down from rails that rise high above the fencing. The curtains at far left and far right are partially drawn.

ANSWER: Shown in the photo is the E Building at the Hollenbeck Home for the Aged. Situated at 573 S Boyle Ave., the home is on a site that once was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Hollenbeck. That was in the 1860s. In 1895, more than 20 years before her death, the widowed Mrs. Hollenbeck founded and endowed the home. The building shown in the photo was built in 1918.
ANSWER: Sure, it's the lake in Hollenbeck Park , the photo being made near the Boyle Ave. entrance. The park acquired its name for the very logical reason that most of its acreage was given to the city by Mrs. J.E. Hollenbeck. (Correction: It was erroneously reported that most of the acreage for the park was donated by Mrs. J.E.Hollenbeck. Actually, two-thirds of the property was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William H. Workman and it was their suggestion that the park be named for J.E. Hollenbeck, a close friend.) correction from 12/31/1955 paper
