Part of Marvin Boland Photographs
In July of 1921, the employees of the Cushman Hospital were treated to a dance at the "K.C. Bldg." The merrymakers posed for this group portrait in the center of the vast ballroom festooned with crepe paper streamers and decorated with American flags for the upcoming Independence Day. In the center of the group is the drummer and fellow band members of the musical entertainment, Mahoney's Red Peppers. The band was a family affair led by Mrs. Ada Mahoney, who played the violin, and her sons who played the drums and banjo. The "K.C. Bldg." possibly refers to the Knights of Columbus Hall located at 718-20 Broadway from 1919-1928. G25.1-016
