Advertisement showing the four-story brick building and the adjoining lumber yard on Girard Avenue above Seventh Street tenanted by Price & Harper. Signboards on the front facade read, "fancy-chair factory, steam sawmill, turning & scroll sawing, and iron foundry." Large piles of lumber are visible in the yard that extends west to Eighth Street from the factory building. A man directs a horse out of the lumber yard gate. Horse-drawn carts, some pulling lumber, travel on the street in front of the building. A carriage and a man and woman travel south on Eighth Street, and a bale of hay rests on the sidewalk near a lamppost and a stalled carriage in the foreground. Price & Harper operated together between 1853 and 1855., Date supplied by Wainwright., Philadelphia on Stone, POS 626, Wainwright retrospective conversion project, edited.
