Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927 |
Title |
In Florist Street |
Date |
ca. 1923 |
Description |
A row of homes and possibly shops reside on a cobblestone street. Pedestrians are present on the narrow road, which include
women, children, peddlers, and a mailman.
|
Notes |
The occupants of a number of neatly-kept homes in this narrow by-way, west from Front Street, were waiting, at the time this
sketch was made, in 1923, early eviction to make clearance for the western approach to the great Delaware River bridge. These
typical dwellings of the all but forgotten past are good examples of the architecture borrowed from London in the days of
Penn and built, probably, when this was a desirable residential neighborhood with merchants and mariners.
