My Great Grandmother

My great grandmother, Mrs. Catherine A Martin, was the founder and president of the Athene club which met in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria New York.

It is also my understanding that she lived in a penthouse there. I have quite a few programs and invitations to events as well as photos of huge events which happened in the ballroom. I have searched for years to find an archive of the Waldorf.

Two of my favorite photos are my great grandmother and Oscar of the Waldorf riding horses in Central Park. The other is a signed photo of Oscar given to my grandmother.
