View of a small, cramped tavern on a cobblestone alleyway. Two people stand at the entrance. |
Notes |
This tavern, familiar to bibulous citizens as the "Bell," was long located at 48 South Eighth Street. It was built prior
to 1828, at which time it was conducted by Hines Causland. In 1845, it was managed by James Boylen. The daguerreotype from
which this drawing was taken was made at that period. It was always a favorite rendezvous for certain politicians. The original
other half, at No. 26, was the home of Robert Bogle, a well-known negro caterer, who is said to have been the last tenant.
Half buildings of this sort were once common in the city and a few examples still exist.
