Notes
Title from manuscript on verso.
Photographer's manuscript note on verso: The Switzerland of Phila is Manyunk [sic]. No wonder it is said the people of Manyunk [sic] get round shouldered from climbing the hills of that busy section of Phila, but to add stair cases such as these would seem to add insult to injury.
Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney.
