Notes |
A trio of dignified old-time dwellings, upon the north side of Branch street, now called Florist Street, which are marked
for destruction by the bridge builders, bear evidence, in their frontages of alternate red and black bricks, of long existence.
Although but a single square in length this wide thoroughfare still carries something of quiet exclusion from a time when
it was entirely residential in character and when, very likely, the ancestors of some of the present owners (in 1922) such,
for instance, as the Logans, Shippens, Fishers and Cadwaladers, may have dwelt within the block.
