Description
Advertisement showing the four-story storefront adorned with signage on the 100 block of North Sixth Street. Signage reads "Radiator Stoves Perpetual Ovens Backs & Jambs Vault & Hearth Grates. Metalic Roofing in Tin & Copper." A patron enters one of the two open entryways into the storefront that is lined with a wall of shelves holding merchandise. Clerks and employees are visible at the cellar entrance, second entry way across from the stairs to the second floor, and in the rear of the business. Pipes and stoves are displayed at the entryways. Two other workers toil at the second floor windows. To the right of the manufactory, a woman street vendor sits in front of a rickety, wooden building front, at a falling shutter used as a table lined with foodstuffs, under an awning with a frame weighted by rocks. The upper floors of a wooden building rise from behind the site of the vendor. Also shows a partial view of an adjacent factory. Partially visible and semi-legible signs, including one reading "ady's Factory" adorn the building. Henry A. Piper and R.S. R. Andrews partnered circa 1845-1847.
