Details
Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
In the Path of the Parkway
Date
ca. 1922
Description
View of a grassy area with benches and people sitting with residences and skyscrapers in the background.
Notes
The foreground of this vista, sketched from a window of the U.G.I. building, was once covered by the Arch Street Prison. In later days there stood here the Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion, razed some years ago. The picturesque huddle of rear-buildings, in process of removal in the spring of 1917, reveal all that was then left of the former dignified homes of families once of businesses and social prominence, but which the present generation will recall only as an unregretted succession of saloons, restaurants and shops more bizarre than attractive.
