Advertisement showing the foundry complex in South Philadelphia. Includes the "Black Lead Crucible Manufactory," "Brass & Bell Foundry," an office-like building, and a workshop with a stack spewing smoke. A gentleman enters the office as a laborer pushes a dray on the sidewalk toward an alley out of which a drayman leads his horse-drawn vehicle transporting a large bell. In the street, a crowded "Gray's Ferry" double-decker omnibus travels alongside a dog barking at the horses. At the rear of the street car, a man attempts to jump aboard. Also shows a couple standing at an opposite street corner, near the open doorway of possibly a grocery store, and surrounding buildings. By 1855, Dyre had relocated his foundry to Front Street.
On stone by W. H. Rease, 17, So. 5th. St.
