Annie's Diary 1906 August 15th

August 15 – Wednesday

The three ladies took a touring car, about 10:15 A.M. in order to see New York. We saw Central Park, some of the business streets and a great many beautiful homes among which were those of the former Russell Sage, the Astor’s, Carnegie’s, Vanderbilt’s, Rockefeller’s and Gould’s. We also had pointed out to us the houses of the great actors Richard Mansfield and Julia Marlowe.
Wednesday evening we took a very long car ride out to “Fort George” which is a twin sister of “our Ponce de Leon”. Spent a very pleasant evening.
