Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
On Front Street Below Chestnut Street
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Depicts a residential street of townhomes. A horse and carriage wait outside of one home while a trolley rides by.
Notes
As late as the Civil War perios the scions of some of the old families continued to occupy the spacious residences along Front Street, which, in earlier times, was distinctly a home section. Those sturdy houses, such as one shown in this drawing, have long since been converted into warehouses or altogether replaced. There is a tradition that in the middle building of this group the first "stove coal" was burned successfully in a grate, at a time when few people were convinced that anthracite would ever replace wood as domestice fuel.
