EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history when hotels in New York, including the iconic Hotel Ogden, built rooftop golf courses to provide a much-needed distraction from the hardships of the Great Depression. In the early 1930s, as businesses struggled and individuals faced financial uncertainty, these innovative hotel owners organized tournaments and provided a space for businessmen to escape their worries and enjoy a round of golf.
The image showcases a group of men playing on the rooftop course against the backdrop of bustling city streets below. The juxtaposition of leisurely sport against the backdrop of economic hardship is both striking and poignant. It serves as a reminder of resilience and creativity during challenging times.
As we look back at this historical moment through Mary Evans Picture Library's lens, we are reminded that even in times of struggle, there can be moments of joy and camaraderie. The rooftop golf courses not only provided physical activity but also served as a mental reprieve for those burdened by financial stress.
This print is not just a snapshot from the past; it is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in finding moments of lightness amidst darkness. It invites us to reflect on how communities come together during difficult times to support one another and find solace in unexpected places like rooftop golf courses atop New York City hotels.
