And a few days I came across this second photograph.

It appears the person who developed the photograph deliberately 'washed' out the lower portion of the snapshot on purpose.

I have read that the Blackstone was the most fabulous place to live. The managers always had great trips planned for the tenets. In the summer there were picnics and trips to the beach with BBQ and all the trimmings at no cost to the tenets. At Christmas there were big parties with Santa and a huge prime rib dinner for all. Each person received a wonderful gift. Often it was a gold fountain pen or a sterling silver tea service.
They even had a discreet service for any girl who might have gotten in a bad way. They would call a cab and whisk her away for things to be made right.
