No evidence of permission. Possibly PD-old, but there is no way to tell without more information. Stefan4 (talk) 23:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep This is a professional 1908 photo of a USA building owned by a major philanthropist, Edward Harkness, so it seems very likely that it is PD-1923. Although it is certainly possible that it sat in a file drawer, unpublished, until after 1989 (the last date when it could be PD for lack of notice or registration), that seems very unlikely since the building has been owned by the Commonwealth Fund since 1952.      Jim . . . .

Kept and {{PD-US}} added per Jameslwoodward. As can be seen by people who have worked with early 20th century original materials, the image pattern shows this is from something published in print in that era, rather than an original photo "that sat in a file drawer, unpublished, until after 1989". -- Infrogmation (talk) 20:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
