Description Advertisement showing the two-story brownstone storefront, adorned with signage, of the liquor dealer who relocated to 806 Lombard Street circa 1875. Barrels, visible through the open central entry, are stacked within the space on the first floor. Architectural ornamentations and etched, arched windows adorn the upper story facade. A man, possibly proprietor Gallagher, stands near one of two other doorways to the establishment across from a laborer prying on one of several barrels lined on the sidewalk. In the street, a boy attends to one of two horses drawing a cart loaded with more barrels. Also shows partial views of adjacent buildings. Gallagher immigrated to the United States in 1856 and established a wholesale liquor business in Philadelphia. He was a member of the Hibernian Society, Catholic societies, and president of the Building and Loan Association.
