Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927 |
| Title |
In Little Quince Street |
| Date |
ca. 1922 |
| Description |
Depicts the busy intersection near 11th and Chestnut surrounded by residences and tall commercial buildings. The street is
filled with pedestrians, as well as an early automobile and a horse-drawn carriage.
|
| Notes |
The factory and warehouse builders have tumbled the aged walls of much that bordered the eastern side of Quince Street, in
that section of the little thorofare south of Walnut Street, but his quaint well cared-for trio of houses still hold their
place as does, also, the neat little home of Mrs. J.M. Mays and her daughter, at 208, opposide. The group here sketched has
come into the possession of Dr. Eugene Pettit who has expended upon them the artistic care of an enthusiast and found space,
within, for a wealth of rare furnishings thus providing an interesting example of what may be done, by way of intelligent
restoration, in other like hid-away by-ways of this long neglected section of old Philadelphia.
