In “64th Annual Report of The New York Association for Improving the Condition of The Poor, September 30th, 1907.” Picture at the beginning of report (paging starts at page 8). Caption: “Making the Daily Report. Visiting Staff – Junior Sea Breeze.” (S ee 63rd AICP Annual Report, year ending Sept. 30, 1906, p. 68ff, for story of beginning of Junior Sea Breeze, at 64th Street and East River. The “beautiful old Colonial mansion” was undoubtedly the Schermerhorn’s, as they formerly owned the land, and the mansion was once summer home of Governor George Clinton. Picture of mansion opposite p. 68.) This picture, and the two on following page, were sent to the CSS Department of Public Interest July 4, 1950, by Miss Helen Fuller, Director, Ward Manor, with a note saying, “One of our most beloved family members, Evelina M. Haughwout, died recently. She had been a worker for Junior Sea Breeze Hospital for AICP back in 1907 and among her papers I found this story about it (filed Archives History file, Seabreeze) and these pictures. I thought they might have some use in our archives some day …” Junior Sea Breeze was “discontinued” Sept. 30, 1911. See AICP 69th Annual Report, 1911-12, pp. 15-16.
