Stephens Brothers Growing Up
Here is the home the Stephens brothers, Olin and Rod, grew up in at 146th Street and Walton Avenue in the Bronx, and before moving to Scarsdale. It appears it was within walking distance to the Stephens Coal facility on the Harlem River and next door to Consolidated Shipbuilding.

3 Generations of Stephens
This image was taken in 1931 just after the Dorade victory in the trans-Atlantic Race. Left to right: Olin J. Stephens, II, Roderick Stephens, Sr., Olin J. Stephens, Sr., and Roderick Stephens, Jr.
Roderick, Sr. owned a coal delivery company in Westchester County, and sold it in 1929, just prior to the Great (Stock Market) Crash of that year.
That fortuitous timing eventually led to Rod, Sr's investment in Dorade, the yacht that helped greatly to put Sparkman & Stephens on a trajectory for success.

Olin J Stephens II
Here's a nice image of Olin as a young man. He's probably 18 or 19 years old in this picture.
