Cadillac?
Cars parked outside of the Petit Trianon in 1914. Thought I recognized a Pierce-Arrow in the background, but I’m not too sure…
From Frank Feminas:
I’m guessing the Petit Trianon Inn’s circular driveway, the exit side on the north end of the structure. The arched windows resembles the Petit’s. We’re facing east at the hidden Lake Ronkonkoma in the back. Appears to be gas or oil for sale on the left of the picture as you exit. Based on the parked cars, I’d say we’re in mid ‘20s? I see at least one Ford in the pic.
From Joseph DeBono:
“The Mystery Foto #50 is the east side, in front of the Petit Trianon. The petit is to the right in the picture. Keep up the good work.”
