Taken ca. 1910-12 and perhaps a very young teenager in this photograph, Dorothy Tucker (1899-1986) sits on the rear concrete steps to the Tucker family home at 90 Third Street in New Dorp, Staten Island while using a spoon to eat her lunch from a bowl set on her lap. The Tucker family were believed to be the second owners of the home, now demolished, and originally built for “Mr. W.J. Steel” as described in the article “Some Modern Concrete Country Houses” for the August, 1906 issue of American Homes and Gardens. 

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
