| Notes |
This drawing, from a photograph made in 1861, portrays a bit of old Pear Street, now called "Chancellor," which extends westward
from Dock to Third Street. The central feature shows the historic Anthony Morris brew-house, built in 1867, a part of which
was occupied in more modern times by the Eisenbrey saw mill and mahogany business. The first of the long-popular Atlantic
City rolling-chairs were made in the toy vehicle factory shown at the left. The old Upton tavern was famed among our grandfathers
for its brew of Rodman ales. A part, at least, of the residence at the right was long tenanted by John King, a gold-beater.
