[edit] Notes

James S. T. Stranahan was a well-known and influential resident of Brooklyn, New York who significantly shaped the growth of the City of Brooklyn in the second half of the nineteenth century. He made a substantial part of his fortune developing the Atlantic Docks of Brooklyn. Following the American Civil War, he was a significant promoter of the Brooklyn Bridge, serving as one of the trustees, and the moving political force behind the development of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, in connection to which he served as President of the Parks Commission from 1860 to 1882.

The Hamilton Club of Brooklyn honored Stranahan on December 13, 1888; a digital copy of the programme has been deposited in Google Books. This portrait is from the frontpiece of that programme.
