Details
Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
Swept from the Parkway Vista
Date
ca. 1917
Description
Panoramic view of the Ben Franklin Parkway in 1917. Factories can be seen in the middle ground and buildings in Center City in the background, including a silhouette of City Hall on the left side of the drawing.
Notes
The view south-eastward from Fairmount, in the fall of 1917, stirkingly resembles war scenes in Belgium. A long-busy manufacturing section is being swept from the path of the Parkway. The important structures thus removed include one public school, located at Twenty-third and Shamokin streets, and the plants of Charles N. Harder, Erben Harding, the Jones box factory and the large mill of S.B. & B.W. Fleisher, beside scores of lesser industries and numerous houses.
