| Description |
Advertisement showing the four-story, three-bay storefront tenanted by the hardware store of Richard Bowlby and William Weaver
(77, i.e., south side of the 200 block of Market Street). Bowlby & Weaver relocated to this site in 1831 from 101 High Street,
where they had operated since 1820. The business was managed under the name Bowlby & Weaver until 1835 when it was renamed
to William Weaver & Co. In the image, the names of the partners are painted on a saw that hangs above the front door. Visible
through the open doorway are two men, who stand face to face, one on each side of a table displaying the store's wares.
