Notes |
One of the best known of the many small "inns" strewn along the old highways leading outward from the city was the "Cherry
Tree Hotel," which swung its welcoming sign upon Baltimore Road at Forty-seventh Street, "holding the fort" there until the
spread of modern residential operations engulfed it and it was replaced by a modern tavern, which preserves the old name,
although the famous old tree no longer yields its luscious burden of fruit. This drawing has been made from a sketch providently
pencilled by its neighbor, the present artist, when its destruction impended some fifteen years ago.
