| Description |
Advertisement print showing the factory complex on the 400 block of North Fifth Street. Complex includes a three-story building
marked "Wm. Dunlap No. 169 Carriage Maker"; wood-gated courtyard; and a two-story building, probably including a showroom,
adorned with signage reading ""Wm. Dunlaps' Coach Factory." A couple enters an entryway of the smaller building that also
contains signage advertising "E.W. Pearce Saddle & Harness Maker." A gentleman walks near the corner of the complex near four
different types of coaches lining the street. Also shows stacks of lumber within the courtyard through the open gate. Circa
1845, Dunlap began operating from the factory which was later used as a hospital, prison, and barracks during the Civil War.
