Arcadia caption text: Taken on a hot summer day in August of 1860, this photograph shows a block of row homes on Fourth Street at the corner of Pine shuttered against the steamy Philadelphia heat. Those who could afford to leave fled the city in the summer months, taking up residence in suburban “cottages” and summer resorts in order to escape the oppressive weather and the frequent outbreaks of disease.
