The Window

The Window

The Tucker family moved into their new home, located at 90 Third St. in the New Dorp section of Staten Island, in 1906 as its’ second owners. The artist’s wife, Mary Carruthers Tucker, (1877-1940) is seen here peering out the first floor dining room window the same year. Initially built ca. 1904-05 for W.J. Steele, the revolutionary concrete structure, now demolished, was designed by important American architect Robert Waterman Gardner, who pioneered reinforced concrete in residential construction.

Charles Rollins Tucker, 1868-1956.
