Reverend McGuinness, who served as Edward Henry Harriman’s pastor at his estate, Arden House, remembers Harriman as a church and community member. The Harriman the people at Arden knew is different than the railroad magnate the public knew. The article includes a facsimile of a letter Harriman wrote McGuinness apologizing for missing church.

On either side of a broad street, “Vanderbilt’s Palace” and the “Cooper Institute to Science and Art” appear. In the distance is “Stewart’s Cathedral” (the Cathedral of the Incarnation, built as a memorial and mausoleum for Garden City’s founder Alexander Turney Stewart). Symbols of wealth frame the left side and symbols of art and science frame the right side. Puck is seated at center, over a quote by Joaquin Miller: “For all you can hold in your cold dead hand is what you have given away.”
