Title |
Hammer and Anvil |
Date |
ca. 1919 |
Description |
Depicts a low, square building covered in ivy. Early automobiles are parked in front of the structure. |
Notes |
The rhythmic clink of hammer on anvil echos softly to the ears of the inmates abiding within the beneficent Presbyterian Hospital.
The old building, now given over to the repair for wagons and hapless autos, is a quaint feature at a corner fo Thirty-ninth
and Flibert Streets. Within the memory of neighbors it was a stable of the nearby hotel, but tradition asserts its orignial
state as a real roadside smithy, at its best in the days when the tavern yards hereabout were filled at night with the wagons
of the Chester County farmers laden with produce for the early morning markets.
