The building in the back is New York Public Library, at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.
Joseph H. Choate and William W. Appleton were both Trustees named in the first year of the New York Free Circulating Library. This photo may have been taken at the opening of NYPL in 1911.

Thank you all for the information on the NY Public Library and the two men in this photo. We will add some of it to the information when we update the database.

There's a memorial to Joseph Hodges Choate in Salem, Massachusetts, his birthplace, featuring an allegorical statue of Liberty by sculptor John Massey Rhind (1860-1936).
