Creator Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title Sixty Years Ago at Fourth and Walnut Streets
Date ca. 1922
Description View of residences on the corner of Sixth and Walnut Streets in 1854, which were replaced by the Fire Association in 1910.
Notes This glimpse of by-gone Philadelphia dwellings has been sketched from a painting made in 1854, which is treasured by the Fire Association, whose splendid modern building at the northwest corner of Fourth and Walnut streets now covers the site. At the period when the original picture was made these houses were still residential, finding room, however, for some of the then numerous, but now long forgotten, railway, canal and mining companies, then active. The brownstone building which was subsequently built here was replaced by the Fire Association in 1910.
