Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
Those Troublesome Old Toll Houses
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Shows sketches of five different toll houses from the Philadelphia area, labeled according to their location.
Notes
These several typical toll-houses will be remembered by every cyclist of days gone by. They were survivals of a system of highways leading outward from the city which were extended and maintained by private corporations which provided the capital State of local authorities were unable to do. Some of these "stand and deliver" stations are still doing business (in 1918), but they are gradually disappearing after a long time of prosperity by reason of the purchase of the turnpike franchises with public money.
