Awning-covered back terrace of the Murray house, 129 East 69th Street, New York City, 1922. Hand-colored glass lantern slide by Frances Benjamin Johnston, via Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
This looks so pleasant, but I also like the view in the other direction.
Looking from the terrace to the sandbox, same house, photographer, and source.
What a nice-looking small outdoor space for both the parents and a child. (For grass, they had Central Park only three blocks away.)
According to the Library’s online catalogue, this garden was designed by Clarence Fowler. It was awarded the second prize for a city garden at the 1922 City Gardens Club of New York City photography exhibition at the New York Camera Club. Today, the house and garden no longer exist.
Johnston used these slides in her lectures on city and suburban gardens.

1922?? Not last week? So very modern.
That’s what I thought too. And rather chic. After the children are done with the sand, they could cover it with more flagstones.
I don’t know if this family ever got the chance to make many changes. The apartment building that is now at the address (right across from Hunter College) is described as pre-WWII era.
