Home Visiting the Museum For Educators Research and Explore

The Rogarshevsky Family standing in front of 97 Orchard Street, circa 1915.
Using computers, the Museum's restoration architects, Li/Saltzman Architects, enhanced elements of the stoop in this photo of the Rogarshevsky family. The results, which offered an idea of what the stoop looked like after being overhauled in 1905, were traced and compared against extant elements from other stoops in the vicinity. Due to the mass production of building elements, it was possible to find comparable historic examples on other buildings.
