Nice find, that has to be the one he was referring.

probably one of my favorite things about these old pictures is seeing how well dressed everyone used to always be. in a casual picture on the street at any given time, men seemed to never go out in public without their coats, ties, and hats. there was a thread recently about a stripper visiting LSU, maybe from the 40's or 50's, and even the students back then were all dressed to the 9's.

The SS United States as it rots in its berth in Philadelphia
I actually got to board her when they brought her to Philly in '97(I think). She was totally gutted but still very impressive. When they shifted berths, they had to wait for an extremely low tide to get her under the Walt Whitman Bridge. She cleared it by a couple of feet. Somebody had some plans for her but I guess she is still sitting there rotting away.

The Winchester Mystery House is a well-known mansion in Northern California. It once was the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester. It was continuously under construction for 38 years and is reported to be haunted. It now serves as a tourist attraction. Under Winchester's day-to-day guidance, its "from-the-ground-up" construction proceeded around the clock, without interruption, from 1884 until her death on September 5, 1922, at which time work immediately ceased. The cost for such constant building has been estimated at about US $5.5 million (if paid in 1922; this would be equivalent to over $75 million in 2012).
The Queen Anne Style Victorian mansion is renowned for its size and utter lack of any master building plan. According to popular belief, Winchester thought the house was haunted by the ghosts of the people who fell victim to Winchester rifles, and that only continuous construction would appease them. It is located at 525 South Winchester Blvd. in San Jose, California.
One version states "She believed her only chance of a normal life was to build a house, and keep building it. If the house was never finished, no ghost could settle into it. The house contains many features that were utilized to trap or confuse spirits. There are doors that are small or lead nowhere and windows that look into other parts of the house. The mansion may be huge but there are only two mirrors in the whole place. This is because Sarah believed that ghosts were afraid of their own reflection.

Before automated, electric traffic signals, many busy intersections were controlled by a police officer in a tower.

Lakeland, Florida (mid-1920s) This traffic tower was erected at the intersection of Kentucky Avenue and Main Street to allow police officers to better direct traffic at the increasingly busy intersection. It was equipped with traffic lights controlled by the officer in the tower.

Lou Gehrig Plays Sandlot Baseball 1927
Photo caption: Los Angeles- Lou Gehrig, Yankee slugger, is shown here at bat during a sandlot game between kid teams. On his barnstorming trip with Babe Ruth, Lou finds himself as much an idol with the kids as the great Bambino himself. And look at the kid behind the plate, ready to help his pitcher strike out Lou. ——11-2-27

Lowering the flag on the sinking Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku during the Battle of Leyte Gulf
Awesome! My dad was in that vicinity at the time supporting the invasion of the Phillipines. He was in the Navy. He told me that the radio traffic was broadcast over the PA on his ship. This was the last naval battle that big warship task forces stood toe to toe and slugged it out.
