Ah, yes! Newspaper.com rabbit holes are ones I know (and love) well! If I'm working to deadline, I set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes. When it dings, I often find myself quite far afield from my research topic.

I love how you used AI to recreate the Murphy's party! How dreamy. Does anyone host a party where there's dancing anymore? Just think how much thought went into the attendee's outfits as well. I'm ready to rsvp...

The picture of their home from the Atlanta History Center describes him as a banker. In the 1910 census, he's identified as a capitalist who works in real estate.

Intereting AI renderings. 1909. I wonder how they did through the depression.

That's an interesting question. Mr. Murphy died in 1924. I'm not sure overall how the wealthy class in Atlanta was impacted by the depression.
