Arcadia caption text: Many Center City rowhouse residents made use of their “postage stamp” yards to create small private
gardens hidden from view from the street. Behind his residence at 329 Pine Street, Joseph R. Evans took advantage of a double
back lot to create a fenced garden complete with walkways, trellises, statuary, urns, and a large ornamental fountain. These
two views from the early 1860s document the elaborate design and landscaping of his garden.
