Description |
Reproduction of a drawing depicting a busy market scene. Shoppers are examining goods are displayed under awnings, which have

Notes |
This long popular market house, at the southwest corner of Spring Garden and Twenty-second streets, was bought, in 1917, by
the trustes of Lu Lu Temple Mystic Shrine, from the estate of Joshua Haines. The space, covering 300 feet by 265 feet upon
the two streets, respectively, will be used as the site for an ornate and costly Temple of the Order. This will be undertaken
when the return of Peace and normal construction conditions make the improvement timely.
