Male clerks and patrons organize and sort through goods displayed in piles on tables throughout the ornately decorated store, which is adorned by pilasters, rounded pediments, rosettes, and flowery chandeliers and light fixtures. Two male clerks assist patrons in the foreground; one speaks with a woman and a young boy, and the other helps two gentlemen. Rockhill & Wilson moved their business from 111 (ie. 321) Chestnut Street to this location in 1857, and operated here until 1882.
