"Red Ink" photo, series by same photographer named for red ink used for writing descriptions on reverse side of similarly-mounted images. This photo was entered in The John Wanamaker Exhibition of Photographs by Amateurs, February 1908.
First Presbyterian Church is the prominent building in this photograph. Only the trolley tracks are cleared of snow. P-01276, P-01277 and P-01278 are mounted on identical boards, with identical handwriting in the captions, so they were all probably taken at the same time.
Looking west at bridge over Ridley Creek along Baltimore Pike. Tracks of the Glen Riddle trolley line turn left to cross trestle over Ridley Creek and continue up Elwyn Road. Frank Lees Slide 1565.

The Plush Mill Bridge collapsed April 20, 1913, when an 18-ton steamroller was crossing and crashed through the floor. See Chester Times, April 21, 1913 and a March 13, 1914 article about the lawsuit that ensued. Frank Lees caption: "Trolley trestle stands alongside of where bridge once stood."
Shows church at 9th and Sayville in Eddystone, with trolley No.16 of the Chester Traction Co. This was likely taken by Appleton in support of a legal case regarding a trolley accident. A large factory is in the background.
Caption on reverse reads: "Edgemont, Pa. on West Chester Pike. Car line ran from 69th St. to West Chester along West Chester Pike." Donated by Mrs. Hoyt (nee Sills), April 11, 1982. This building, which is no longer standing, was on the south side of West Chester Pike, just west of Providence Road. Address is approximate, but roughly where the Glam Nail Lounge stood in 2019.
