Various scenes of Oyster Bay, New York, and surrounding area, commissioned by the Roosevelt Memorial Association as part of its efforts to establish a memorial park in honor of Theodore Roosevelt. Most prominent views are of the mid-town intersection of East Main St. and South St., and the area around Oyster Bay railroad station, which borders the park site. Various shots of the intersection, in some of which campaign banners of the 1924 election are visible: pictures of President Coolidge, Charles Gates Dawes, and Ted Roosevelt, who unsuccessfully ran for New York governor against Alfred Emmanuel Smith in 1924, appear on the banners. Panning shots of a frame home by railroad tracks, steam engine with crew posed in front, and railroad station. Shots of a garbage dump and homes beside the bay, harbor area, row frame houses fronting on the garbage dump, and passenger train. These areas were to be included in the park.
