This business was located on the north side of Baltimore Avenue between Orange Street and South Avenue. Also in picture is a horse-drawn wagon with the sign: "Ingram Bros. Wagon Builders"

This business was located on the north side of Baltimore Avenue between Orange Street and South Avenue.

Caption sheet in folder says this "former residence of Mrs. Thompson" was "built on property once owned by Isaac Worrall."

According to a front-page story in the Chester Times on January 11, 1916, this event, held January 10 in the Masonic Hall at 4th and Market streets, was a tribute by the local Democratic party to Andrew Jackson.

Donated by Robert M. Allam. See P-14013A for explanation. The relation of this photograph to Clyde Allam and the Allam family is unknown. Photograph marked "Studio of H. Parker Rolfe, 1305-07 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa." The negative seems to be a copy of this original. Perhaps the two boys in this photo are the younger versions of the two boys in P-14013E.

Skelly was founder of James J. Skelly Co., a general contracting and road building firm once located in Media. See ad in Centennial Book, page 81, for a history of the firm up to 1950, and a photograph of Skelly with his two sons, Joseph J. and J. Paul Skelly.

Wagon reads: J. T. Sweeney, Bakery, Upland, PA. (A search of Chester Times online records confirm that this bakery was in Upland, on Upland Avenue.)

This building originally housed P. W. Ware Plumbing. See AP-5171-2. Frank Lees caption: "This building was built by Preston W. Ware in 1896 for his plumbing, beating, and tin smelting business. Mr. Ware started in business at the southwest corner of State and Orange streets with $5 worth of tools.

The market stood at the southeast corner of State and Plum streets.
