Description |
Advertisement showing the three-story, three bay building with swan neck pediments flanking the sign "Loud & Brothers Piano
Forte Manufacturers" at 150 Chestnut Street (ie. north side of the 600 block of Chestnut Street) across from the Philadelphia
Arcade. Pianos are on display in their wide, decorative shop window and laurel wreaths adorn the transom windows above the
two doorways to the shop. The piano manufactory, the largest of its kind in the country at the time, was purportedly behind
the store. Thomas Loud Evenden and his brothers formed the Loud & Brothers piano business in the early 1820s and were the
most extensive manufacturer until the Chestnut Street shop closed in the late 1830s.
