Title The Epiphany Protestant Episcopal Church
Date ca. 1922
Description View of a neo-classical style church on the busy corner of Fifteenth and Chestnut Streets. Pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages populate the area.
Notes Built in 1834, this church continued to be a popular place of worship through more than sixty years. When established, upon the northwest corner of Fifteenth and Chestnut Streets, it was environed by the substantial homes of prominent families, nearly all of which have long been displaced or converted to the uses of business. THe old church building was bought, in 1901, from the congregation by Mr. John Wanamaker, who eventually resold it. The larger portion is now covered by the lofty Pennsylvania Building.
